 Introductory Message
This Self-Learning Module (SLM) is prepared so that you, our dear
learners, can continue your studies and learn while at home. Activities,
questions, directions, exercises, and discussions are carefully prepared for
you to understand each lesson.

Each SLM is composed of different parts. Each part shall guide you
discover and understand the lesson prepared for you.

Pre-tests are provided to measure your prior knowledge on lessons in

each SLM. This will tell you if you need to proceed on completing this module
or if you need to ask your facilitator or your teacher’s assistance for better
understanding of the lesson. At the end of each module, you need to answer
the post-test to self-check your learning. Answer keys are provided for each
activity and test. We expect that you will work on this honestly.

In addition to the material in the main text, Notes to the Teacher are
also provided to our facilitators and parents for strategies and reminders on
how they can best help you on your home-based learning.

Please use this module with care. Do not put unnecessary marks on
any part of this SLM. Use a separate sheet of paper in answering the exercises
and tests. Read the instructions carefully before performing each task.

If you have any questions in using this SLM or any difficulty in

answering the tasks in this module, do not hesitate to consult your teacher
or facilitator.

Thank you.

 Target

Reproduction is necessary for the stability of species and without this process
extinction will be evident. Propagation is essential to ensure existence among species.
From your past lesson, you described how unifying themes in the study of life
show the connections among living things and how they interact with each other and
with their environment.
This learning material will allow you with understanding and activities that
will aid you enumerate and define ways among animals in terms of asexual and
sexual reproductions.
After undergoing this learning material, you are expected to:
Describe the different ways of how representative animals reproduce
(S11/12LT-IIej-15)

Subtasks:

a. define asexual and sexual reproduction,

b. identify examples of how animals reproduce,
c. classify how animals reproduce, and
d. explain how animals reproduce

Reproduction in Animals

Reproduction among animals can be classified as sexual and asexual. Sexual

Reproduction means include fertilization of gametes, referring to the union of sperm
and egg, which results to unique offspring. Asexual Reproduction occurs without
fertilization, usually in the form of cloning, making its offspring identical.

Asexual Reproduction

1. Budding
Budding occurs when a parent organism produces a bud that will
eventually develops into an offspring and it will mature similarly from
the parent. Flatworms, Jellyfish, Sea Anemones, and Corals are
organisms capable of budding as a form of reproduction.

2. Fragmentation
When the body of an organism breaks into fragments or pieces which
later grow into a whole similar organism, fragmentation is observed.
Examples of organism capable of fragmentation include Molds,
Lichens, Sponges, and Starfish.

3
LU_Earth and Life Science_Module 11
 3. Parthenogenesis
Parthenogenesis happens when an unfertilized egg develops into an
offspring. Parthenogenesis is derived from the Greek words parthenos
and genesis which means virgin and origin respectively. Some of the
animals capable of this process are Crayfish and Komodo Dragon.

4. Binary Fission
Fissions are common among Bacteria as their form of reproduction. The
organelles are simply duplicated and later become a completely
separated organisms. Aside from Bacteria, Amoeba, Paramecium, and
Euglena are also adept of reproducing through binary fission.

Sexual Reproduction

Sexual reproduction is evident when there is the union of male and female
gametes and this process is called Fertilization. Fertilization can be made externally
and internally. External fertilization happens when a female organism lay their eggs
somewhere as the male organism will spray their sperm near the eggs, thus,
fertilizing the eggs. Sea Urchins, Salmons, and Salamanders are some of the animals
performing external reproduction. Mating or sexual intercourse is made during
internal fertilization.
There are three types of internal fertilization: oviparity, ovoviparity, and
viviparity. Oviparity are also known as egg-laying animals wherein after fertilization
eggs are deposited outside the body like in Iguanas, Geckos, Pythons, and Chickens.
In ovoviparity, the eggs remain inside the body of an animal until they are ready to
hatch similar with Sharks, Rays, Fanged frogs, and True toads. While in viviparity,
which can be either placental or marsupial, the young are developed in the mother’s
body. Placental animals include Pangolin, Bats, Whales, and Human beings and
Marsupial animals include Kangaroos, Koalas, Sugar gliders, and Pygmy possums.
Hermaphroditism are also common to some animals having both male and female
genitals. Clams and Barnacles are capable of self-fertilization while Earthworms and
Snails require partners to be fertilized.
