II. Learning Objectives: At the end of the lesson the student can be able to, •evaluate the Sexual, Asexual Reproduction; •express on how they understand Mechanisms of Fertilization: and •relate the factors that affects successful reproduction
III. Discussions Of Concepts:
Animal Reproductive Structure Human beings are classified as mammals along with goats, cow, dogs, cats, and mice. Mammals have external and internal sex organs. Recall that among the female and male human beings, there are external genitalia that scientists use to identify whether the newly born individual is a male or a female. This is also true for cow, dog, cat and other mammals. There are internal female and male reproductive structures in humans that we have learned in the previous module. There are similarities in the structures of the other mammals that produce the sex cells such as the ovary and the testis. Internal fertilization of the egg by the sperm occurs when there is male and female individuals. Gestation occurs inside the female uterus until a young is born. Among birds, such as chicken, the male or rooster can be identified on its head and its prominent tail feathers. Hens have smaller comb and tail feathers. During mating, the rooster transfers the sperm to the hen by rubbing its cloaca against that of the female resulting in internal fertilization. The cloaca is an opening in the bird through which sperm and egg pass through. Snakes and lizards have no external organs to help scientists identify male from female though they exhibit variation in appearance. Frogs have paired gonads and oviducts that are found inside the body which are connected to the cloacae (plural of cloaca). The female fish has paired ovaries that produce eggs that are released oviducts. The uterus or the body cavity. The male fish has paired testis that produced the sperm. Earthworms are hermaphrodites. They have both male and female sex organs in one individual. An individual can produce sperms and eggs and during mating either in one can provide the egg or sperm that is fertilized. In insects such as bees, the testis produce sperms in males and the ovaries produced the eggs in females. The oviducts provide space for Sex cells to travel to the uterus. Female insects may store sperms in spermathecal (an accessory organ). Some animals do not have sexual organs for reproduction. In the case of hydra, a coelenterate growing in freshwater, a new animal is produced by a “bud” from its main body which eventually grow and separate from the parent body. Some organisms that reproduce sexually may also reproduce asexually. Among staghorn corals, broken segments of the colony may grow into new colonies. A sea star that lost some of its arms may grow or regenerate the lost parts to become a new individual.
Plant Reproductive Structures
Most plants that you see around have flowers which are the sex organs of these plants Among non-flowering plants like in pine trees, an individual produces male and female cones. In ferns, the spores formed in the leaves germinate into heart-shaped plants that contain the sex cells. Mosses have spores that germinate to young moss plants but grow into male or female that produce the sex cells. There are plant parts like leaves stems and roots that give rise to new plants.
IV. Definition of Key Concepts:
What is Reproduction? -Reproduction is a biological process by which an organism reproduces an offspring that is biologically similar to the organism. Reproduction enables and ensures the continuity of species, generation after generation. It is the main feature of life on earth.
What is the role of Reproduction?
-The role of reproduction is to provide for the continued existence of a species; it is the process by which living organisms duplicate themselves.
Animal Reproductive Structures
-It focuses on the gonads (sex organs), associated ducts and glands, and adaptations that aid in the union of gametes, reproductive cells, male or female, that are capable of producing a new individual by union with a gamete of the opposite sex.
Plant Reproductive Structures
-Plant reproductive system, any of the systems, sexual or asexual, by which plants reproduce. In plants, as in animals, the end result of reproduction is the continuation of a given species and the ability to reproduce is, therefore, rather conservative, or given to only moderate change, during evolution. Changes have occurred, however, and the pattern is demonstrable through a survey of plant groups.
Living things, due to their diversity, need to be identified and classified. Classifying means that we sort similar organisms into groups. Scientists have devised classification systems for organisms to facilitate learning about them. Moreover, one organism has one scientific name which makes communication easy. Let us find time to study animals and plants and how to classify them because they were considered also as living thing in this world. There are many features that we can use to classify organisms. This lesson focuses on reproductive structures of animals and plants just like human being they’re also reproducing to spread their genes.
