Answer: Reproduction is a process by which a living organism produces an offspring (i.e. young ones) of their own kind. 2. What is the significance of reproduction? Answer: Reproduction is an important life process that involves the multiplication of living organisms. It is essential for the continuation of species. Like plants, plants also reproduce to increase in number and continue their race. 3. Why does a child show some characteristics of the father and some of the mother? Answer: The child inherits the characters of father and mother due to the genes that are passed on by the parents. 4. What is the function of amniotic fluid? Answer: The uterus is filled with a fluid called amniotic fluid that protects the foetus from jerks and change in temperature. 5. How does an embryo obtain nutrition to grow and develop its body parts? Answer:The placenta is connected to the embryo by a tubular cord called umbilical cord. Blood vessels in the umbilical cord supplies nutrients and oxygen from the mother’s blood to the embryo and take away the waste carbon dioxide and other waste from the embryo to the mother’s blood. 6. Differentiate between viviparous and oviparous animals. Answer: Viviparous animals: Animals which give birth to their young ones are called viviparous animals. Mammals like cow, horse, dog, cat and human beings are viviparous animals. Oviparous animals: Animals which lay eggs are called oviparous animals. Animals such as hen, frog lizard, birds and butterfly are Oviparous animals. 7. What is metamorphosis? Answer: Newly born organisms and newly hatched young ones have a shape and structure similar to their parents. In some animals the newly born offspring is different from the adult ones. It is called larva. The conversion of larva into an adult by undergoing through drastic changes is called metamorphosis. 8. Differentiate between sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction. Answer: Asexual reproduction The type of reproduction in which only a single parent is involved is called asexual reproduction. There is no mixing of genetic information. Examples: lower animals like Amoeba, Hydra, yeast, starfish and worms. Sexual reproduction The type of reproduction, which involves two parents to give rise to an offspring is called as sexual reproduction. There is a mixing of genetic information. Examples: In humans, almost in all mammals and many other multicellular animals. 9. Name the hormones produced by testes and ovaries. Answer: The hormone produced by testes is testosterone and thehormones produced by ovaries are oestrogen and progesterone. F. Answer the following questions in detail. 1. Explain the process of fertilization in human beings. Answer: Sexual reproduction takes place in human beings. Male reproductive organs(testes) produce sperms (male gametes) while the female reproductive organ(ovaries) produce ovum (female gametes). The sperms are ejected inside female bodies where they fuse with ovum and forms zygote (called internal fertilization). The zygote begins to develop into an embryo that attaches to the uterus wall of female. The embryo further multiples into many cells and develops further into a small baby called foetus and later, a baby is born. 2. Describe the structure and functions of different male and female reproductive organs with the help of diagrams. Answer: The male reproductive organs are a pair of testes, sperm duct, Urethra and Penis. Testis: Testis is located outside the abdominal cavity within a sac called scrotal sac or scrotum.They produce millions of tiny sperm cells. Testes produce a hormone called testosterone. Testosterone is a male sex hormone, which maintains the entire reproductive activities that occur in a male. Vas deferens: They are also known as sperm duct. This duct connects each testis to the urethra. They transport sperms into the penis. They also collect fluids secreted by different glands. These secretions are rich in proteins to enrich the sperms. Sperms along with these secretions form a thick substance called as semen. Penis: It is a muscular organ which transfers semen into the female reproductive tract. Urethra: It is a tube-like structure present inside the penis, which receives both urinary tube and sperm duct and serves as a common transporting organ for urine and semen. Female Reproductive system: The female reproductive system consists of organs a pair of Ovaries, a pair of oviducts, uterus and vagina. 1.Ovary: Ovaries are oval-shaped organs located on either side of the abdomen. Each ovary contains thousands of eggs called ovum. It secretes female hormones called oestrogen and progesterone which regulate and maintain the female reproductive cycle. 2.Oviduct: Also, known as fallopian tubes. It is a thin and long tube that carries the egg from the ovary to uterus. They allow ovum to travel in the tube. 3.Uterus: Uterus is a hollow muscular organ which has the capacity to bear the child. It is otherwise called as the womb. After fertilization, female reproductive hormones bring in many changes to the uterus, so as to bear the growing embryo. The uterus opens into the vagina. 4.Vagina: Vagina lies at the end of the uterus. It receives penis during the sexual intercourse and is the site where sperms are deposited. The vagina is connected to the uterus at the cervix. Cervix is the neck like the opening to the uterus. 3. Define asexual reproduction. Describe two methods of asexual reproduction with the help of diagrams. Answer: Asexual reproduction The type of reproduction in which only a single parent is involved is called asexual reproduction. Types of asexual reproduction 1.Budding: A bud starts as an outgrowth on the parent body. As this bud grows, it becomes a new individual organism. In some organisms, the buds remain attached to the parent’s body (example: yeast) In some organisms, it detaches from parent body and develops into a complete mature individual (hydra). This type of reproduction is called as budding. 2.Fission It is a type of asexual reproduction in which a single-celled organism divides into two. • Division of nucleus is followed by division of other cell organelles in the cytoplasm and finally the cytoplasm. • Thus, two cells are produced from one parent cell. • Example: Amoeba, Paramecium, Euglena, etc. • Amoeba reproduces by binary fission, which is dividing into two cells. If one parent cell gives rise to many daughter cells, this type of fission is called as multiple fission. 4. Differentiate between internal and external fertilization. Answer: i. Internal fertilization: When fertilization takes place inside the female’s body, it is called internal fertilization. Example: human beings some animals such as hen, cows, dogs etc. ii. External fertilization: When fertilization takes place outside the female’s body, it is called external fertilization. Example: aquatic animals like fish, starfish and frog. 5. Discuss how a zygote develops into an individual in humans. Answer: Development of an embryo After fertilization, the zygote moves down to the uterus and divides repeatedly to form a ball of cells called embryo.

  • Plant's Parent Genes Cooperate in Shaping
    Plant’s parent genes cooperate in shaping their child ~ Discovery of parental factors that lead to asymmetric division of the zygote ~ April 21, 2017 An international group of plant biologists discovered for the first time on how factors arising from the mother and father in flowering plants cooperate to develop the shape of their child. Until now, it has been unknown whether paternal factors cooperate or conflict with each other to bring about zygote asymmetry. The outcome of this discovery is expected to shed light on the exact mechanism of plant body shape formation and possibly lead to the generation of new hybrid plants. Nagoya, Japan – A group of plant biologists at the Institute of Transformative Bio-Molecules (ITbM) of Nagoya University, have reported in the journal Genes and Development, on their discovery on how plant’s maternal and paternal factors cooperate for the child to grow in the proper shape. In a research led by Dr. Minako Ueda, a lecturer at ITbM, the group discovered that upon fertilization, the factor originating from the father’s sperm cell activates a particular protein in the zygote (fertilized egg cell). In addition, this activated protein cooperates with the factor derived from the mother’s egg cell for the zygote to develop in the correct manner. This research shows for the first time how father- and mother-derived factors cooperate in the child development of plants. Sperm cells Fertilization rom the father Zygote (child) Various factors (Genes, proteins, etc.) Egg cells from the mother Fertilization in plants. Factors (genes, proteins, etc.) derived from the mother and father are mixed in the zygote (child) upon fertilization.

Biol. 49: 615-632 (2005) doi: 10.1387/ijdb.052023lb Gametophyte interaction and sexual reproduction: how plants make a zygote LEONOR C. BOAVIDA1, ANA MARIA VIEIRA1, JÖRG D. BECKER1 and JOSÉ A. FEIJÓ*1,2 1Centro de Biologia do Desenvolvimento, Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência, Oeiras, Portugal and 2Universidade de Lisboa, Faculdade de Ciências, Dept. Biologia Vegetal, Campo Grande, Lisboa, Portugal ABSTRACT The evolutionary success of higher plants relies on a very short gametophytic phase, which underlies the sexual reproduction cycle. Sexual plant reproduction takes place in special organs of the flower: pollen, the male gametophyte, is released from the anthers and then adheres, grows and interacts along various tissues of the female organs, collectively known as the pistil. Finally, it fertilizes the female gametophyte, the embryo sac. Pollen is released as bi or tricellular, highly de-hydrated and presumably containing all the biochemical components and transcripts to germinate. Upon hydration on the female tissues, it develops a cytoplasmic extension, the pollen tube, which is one of the fastest growing cells in nature. Pollen is completely “ready-to-go”, but despite this seemingly simple reaction, very complex interactions take place with the female tissues. In higher animals, genetic mechanisms for sex determination establish striking develop- mental differences between males and females. In contrast, most higher plant species develop both male and female structures within the same flower, allowing self-fertilization. Outcrossing is ensured by self-incompatibility mechanisms, which evolved under precise genetic control, control- ling self-recognition and cell-to-cell interaction.

  • Human Development Summary
    Human Development Laboratory Activity Gametogenesis Male The sperm develop within the highly coiled seminiferous tubules of the testes. When the sperm are fully mature they are extremely small, being little more than a bag of genetic material with a tail. The head of the sperm oell contains the nucleus and little else. The tail consists of a flagellum which allows the sperm to swim through the female reproductive tract to the egg. Female The egg is one of the largest cells in the body. As the egg ripens in the ovary it accumulates yolk which will serve as food for the young embryo until the placenta and umbilical cord are fully functional. Egg development is acomplished with the help of special nurse cells called follicle cells. When the egg is fully formed it bursts from the ovary in a process called ovulation. Ovulation is governed by complex nervous and hormonaI controls. After the egg is released from the ovary it enters the oviduct. Embryonic Development Fertilization Fertilization takes place in the fallopian tubes or oviducts. Although thousands of sperm cells may complete the trip to the egg only one will penetrate the cells outermost membrane and fertilize it. From this point on the egg is referred to as a zygote. Cleavage Divisions Almost as soon as the egg is fertilized it begins to divide. First into two cells, then 4, then 8 and so on. These divisions produce a solid clump of 32-64 cells called the morula. Blastocyst The morula continues its trip down the oviduct to the uterus.
