What is It
Directions: Answer the following questions. Write your answer on your activity
notebook.
1. What are the different types of asexual reproduction?
2. Explain in words or illustration the sexual reproduction of animals.
Plant Reproduction versus Animal Reproduction
Reproduction
Plants, animals, and other organism have the ability to reproduce.
Reproduction is a biological process in which different organisms have the ability to
produce another of their kind. With this ability, organisms are able to improve their
species and enhance their physical characteristics, because only those that have the
genes necessary for survival can proliferate and pass them on to the next generation.
In plants and animals, reproduction may either be sexual or asexual.
Asexual Reproduction
Asexual reproduction does not involve gametes or sex cells. This type of
reproduction can be observed in some plants and in lower forms of animals.
4
Types of Asexual Reproduction
1. Budding- an organism is reproduced by forming an outgrowth, or a “bud”,
from a part of the parent organism’s body. Example is Hydra.
Figure 1. Hydra
2. Fragmentation- an organism is produced from the detached body part of its
parent. Example is some species of sea stars.
Figure 2. Sea stars
3. Binary fission- a parent organism (e.g., a unicellular organism) splits into two
“daughter” organisms. This type of asexual reproduction is usually done by
prokaryotic organisms (e.g., bacteria) and some invertebrates. Example is
Cyanobacteria.
Figure 3. Cyanobacteria
4. Vegetative reproduction- a plant part is used to reproduce another plant.
Example is strawberry and kamote, etc..
Figure 4. Plants
5
5. Spore formation- this involves the production of spores, which are specialized
asexual reproductive cells. Example is ferns.
Figure 5. Fern
Sexual Reproduction
On the other hand, sexual reproduction involves the union of gametes (i.e.,
the sperm and the egg cell) inside or outside the body of an organism. This type of
reproduction is exhibited only by higher forms of organisms, including humans. In
this process, the sperm and the egg fuse to create a fertilized egg known as the
zygote, which will eventually become the embryo. Figure 6.1 shows the process
necessary for sexual reproduction to occur.
Figure 6.1.Sexual reproduction in humans.
Reproductive Traits in Organisms
The reproduction of different organisms plays a vital role in the continuation
of their species, as well as their survival. There are a lot of physical differences in the
reproductive systems of plants and animals, but they also share certain similarities.
Plants and animals both use color display for reproduction. Plants use their physical
characteristics to attract pollinators. Some plants have bright-colored flowers to
attract insects, and thus enabling the transfer of pollen from one flower to another.
Figure 6.2 shows a bee feeding on nectar from a dandelion. As the bee feeds itself,
the pollen grains get attached to its hairy body. When the bee sips nectar from
another flower, the pollen grains that previously got attached to it are then
transferred; thus, reproduction happens.
6
Figure 6.2. Pollination of dandelion by a bee
Some animals also use color display to attract a mate. The peacock in figure
6.3 shows a magnificent color display of its feathers during courtship. The peacock
does this to attract the female peafowl, the peahen.
Figure 6.3. A peacock displaying his plumage to a peafowl.
One distinguishing characteristic of animals is sexual selection, wherein
some male species compete with other males to copulate with females. This form of
natural selection allows successful transfer of genes from one generation to the next.
Another difference between plants and animals is their method of fertilization. Sexual
reproduction in most animals requires physical interaction with each other in close
proximity. In comparison, plants need a vector, such as an insect or a bird. Thus,
animals and plants have different ways of reproduction, but their main goal is the
same: to extend their species.

2. Illustrate the comparison of life cycles between plants and animals.
Developmental Difference of Plants and Animals
Development
Plants and animals have progressed differently. Based on phylogenetic
evidence or the evolutionary history of organisms, the primitive ancestor of plants
and animals was likely a unicellular eukaryote. However, based on molecular
evidence from gene comparisons, there is not much similarity between the genes that
make up the body plan of plants and of animals.
At the unicellular stages of their development, plant cells are positionally fixed,
which means that they are not capable of movement, whereas animal cells are motile
or capable of movement. During the growth stages, the body plan of plants is highly
regulated by the environment because plants cannot choose or change their growing
locations, whereas the body plan of animals is clearly determined by its genes. Plant
and animal life cycles are also different from one another. Most plants undergo
alternation of generations, where they have sexual and asexual life cycles, whereas
the animal life cycle has only one continuous multicellular stage (after fertilization).
Figure 6.4 shows the comparison between the life cycles of plants and animals.
14
Figure 6.4. Comparison between life cycles of animals and plants
The processes in the formation of gametes are also different between plants
and animals. During meiosis, plants produce spores first before forming the gametes,
whereas in animals, the gametes are directly formed. Another developmental
difference between plants and animals is shown in their morphogenesis, or change
in shape. Plants develop by going through a longer period of morphogenesis than
animals. Plants just grow and develop continuously until they die, whereas animals
develop into a distinct and complete body shape (usually during adulthood). Plants
grow by increasing their cell size, whereas animals grow by increasing the number
of their cells.
