• Despite bdelloids'
asexuality, they've
diversified into 380
species
Facultative sexuality in animals
• In some animals, such as
Hydra, asexual reproduction
can occur through budding
• As winter approaches,
both males and females
are produced, which mate
to produce eggs
Evidences or Theories for origin of
Sexual Rep:
Diagram of the amniote egg of the chick, showing the membranes enfolding the 7-day chick
embryo. The yolk is eventually surrounded by the yolk sac, which allows the entry of
nutrients into the blood vessels. The chorion is derived in part from the ectoderm and
extends from the embryo to the shell (where it will exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide and
absorb calcium from the shell). The amnion provides the fluid medium in which the embryo
grows, and the allantois collects nitrogenous wastes that would be dangerous to the embryo.
Eventually the endoderm becomes the gut tube and encircles the yolk.
