    1) The document discusses reproduction in animals through a series of questions and answers. It addresses topics like the importance of reproduction, the process of fertilization in humans, internal vs external fertilization, asexual reproduction methods like budding and binary fission, the differences between a zygote and fetus, and more. 2) Key points covered include that fertilization involves the fusion of a sperm and egg, forming a zygote with one nucleus, and that this zygote then divides and develops into an embryo. External fertilization occurs outside the female body while internal is inside. 3) Asexual reproduction methods in animals mentioned are budding in hydra and binary fission in amoeba

    Answer

    1) Reproduction is fundamental feature of all known life.


    2) The organisms reproduce to produce young ones like them.
    3) It helps to carry on their generation.
    4) If reproduction does not take place, no living being will survive on the earth.
    5) special characters of an organism are carried over to its next generation through
    reproduction only.

    Question 2
    Describe the process of fertilization in human beings.

    Answer

    1) Fertilization involves the fusion of the male and the female gamete.
    2) It is the fusion of sperm and ovum
    3) The male and the female gametes are released from the male and the female
    reproductive organs.
    4) During fertilization, the haploid nucleus of the sperm and that of the ovum fuse
    with each other to form the zygote. This zygote divides to form an embryo
    5) The embryo further multiples into many cells and develops further into a small baby called foetus.

    Question 3
    Choose the most appropriate answer.

    (a) Internal fertilization occurs

    Question 5

    Give two differences between a zygote and a foetus.

    Answer

    Zygote Foetus
    It is a fertilized egg formed after It is a stage of the embryo that shows all the

    egg. organism.
    The zygote divides several times An embryo gradually develops into a foetus.
    to form an embryo.

    Question 6
    Define asexual reproduction. Describe two methods of asexual reproduction in
    animals.

    Answer

    Asexual reproduction is that type of reproduction in which only single parent is


    involved. Asexual reproduction takes place by different methods like Budding,
    Binary fission etc.
    Budding Binary fission
    This type of reproduction takes In this type of reproduction, a single
    place in Hydra and Bacteria. A part organism gets divided into two. This
    of the organism starts bulging out. type of reproduction takes place in
    Slowly it grows and develops into a Amoeba. The nucleus of the Amoeba
    separate individual. gets divided into two followed by division
    of their bodies, each part getting one
    nucleus and developing into a separate
    individual.

    Question 7
    In which female reproductive organ does the embryo get embedded?
