3. Sexual Reproduction
Most of the animals like
dogs and cats reproduce
in a way similar to
humans.
The young animal is
formed with the help of
sex cells (gametes) from
the parents.
The sex cells are the egg
4. The individual that
produces the egg cell is
called female; and the one
that produces the sperm
cell is called the male.
The egg cell is the female
gamete and the sperm cell
is the male gamete.
The reproduction that
involves a male and a
female gamete is known as
sexual reproduction.
5. The eggs of the frog are
fertilized outside the
body of the female.
9. Another example is
the egg of a hen
which is fertilized
inside the body. But
the fertilized egg
develops outside the
body.
The hen sits on the
egg (or incubates)

14. Asexual Reproduction
The prefix –a means none.
Asexual reproduction means it
does not involve sex cells.
If the sea star is cut into
sections such that each arm
has a portion of the central
disc, each section will grow
the rest of the missing body
15. The growth of
the missing
body parts is
known as
regeneration.
No gametes a
re involved in
this process.
