    This document discusses asexual and sexual reproduction in animals. It defines various types of asexual reproduction like binary fission, budding, fragmentation, and regeneration. Binary fission involves the division of a single-celled organism into two daughter cells, while budding results from the formation of a bud that later detaches. Fragmentation occurs when an organism's body splits into multiple parts that develop into new individuals. The document also explains sexual reproduction, which requires the fusion of male and female gametes (sperm and egg). Fertilization can happen externally or internally. In humans, sperm are produced in the testes and travel through the vas deferens and urethra.

    CHAPTER 4 || REPRODUCTION DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH IN ANIMALS || BIOLOGY

    Q1) What is Asexual Production and its types?


    Ans) In asexual reproduction only one organism is involved and there is no fusion of sex cells, that is
    egg (ovum) and sperm. Its common in lower animals like Amoeba, Hydra and flatworms. There are
    different methods of asexual reproduction such as binary fission , budding , fragmentation .
    Q2) What is Binary Fission?
    Ans) It is simple division of a unicellular organism like Amoeba in to two daughter cells of roughly equal
    sizes. In this process, the nucleus of the parent organism first divides in to two daughter nuclei
    distributing the genetic material equally. It is followed by the division of cytoplasm splitting the cell in to
    two daughter cell then grows in to a full size organism, which divided again. Binary fission occurs in
    protozoans like Paramaecium and Euglena.
    Q3) What is Budding?
    Ans) In this type of asexual reproduction, a small outgrowth called a bud arises on the body of an
    organism. The bud grows and develops in to a new individual that finally gets detached from the parent
    to lead and independent existence. The most common example is Hydra.
    Q4) How does budding happen in sponges?
    Ans) In case of sponges the buds do not separate out and as a result a colony of interconnected
    organism is formed.
    Q5) What is Fragmentation?
    Ans) In this type of asexual reproduction, the entire body of the organism gets divided in to several
    parts or fragments, each of which can grow in to a new individual. This is called fragmentation. It is
    observed in flat worms, in which long ribbon like body just breaks up in to two or more fragments which
    grow in to new individuals.
    Q6) What is Regeneration?
    Ans) Some animals such as Hydra, starfish, earthworms and flatworms are capable of forming whole
    new individuals from parts of the parents body that get detached due to accident or injury. This type of
    asexual reproduction is called regeneration.
    In vertebrates regeneration is limited to restoring some lost body parts. E.g. a lizard can regenerates its
    tail, amphibians such as salamanders can regenerate limbs , tail, eys, jaws and some internal organs.
    Regeneration is carried out by specialized cells that multiply rapidly and undergo changes to form various
    types of cells and tissues as in the original.
    Q7) Explain Sexual reproduction in animals?
    Ans) Sexual reproduction involves two organisms: male and female. The male and female sex cells or
    gametes fuse together to form a zygote which develops in to a new organism.
    Q8) What is fertilization?
    Ans) Higher animals including human beings have distinct male and female sexes. The male organisms
    produce male gametes called sperms while the female organisms produce the female gametes called ova
    (singular : ovum). The fusion of sperm and ovum is called fertilization. A zygote is formed as the result.
    Q9) What are the different types of fertilization?
    Ans) The fusion of sex cells may occur either outside or inside the body of the female. When an ovum
    fuses with a sperm outside, it is called external fertilization. It is seen in aquatic habitats; e.g. in fishes
    and frogs. In mammals bird and reptiles, the fusion take place inside the body of the female. This is called
    internal fertilization.
    Q10) Write briefly about male reproductive system in human beings?
    CHAPTER 4 || REPRODUCTION DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH IN ANIMALS || BIOLOGY

    Ans) The male gametes called sperms are produced in a pair of special reproductive organs called the
    testes (singular: testis). Testes are located outside the abdomen in a sac like structure called scrotum.
    The sperms travel through the sperm duct or vas deferens to reach the urethra, which is tube through
    which urine passes. The penis is the male reproductive organ through which sperms are discharged. The
    organ for the discharge of urine and sperms is the same in males.
