What we have learnt

There are two modes by which animals reproduce: Sexual reproduction and Asexual reproduction.
Reproductive organs include ovaries and testes, producing female and male gametes respectively.
Fertilization can occur internally or externally, leading to the formation of a zygote that develops into an embryo.

Key Concepts

Term: Sexual Reproduction

Definition: Reproduction involving the fusion of male and female gametes.
Term: Asexual Reproduction

Definition: Reproduction that does not involve the fusion of gametes, typically involving a single parent.
Term: Fertilization

Definition: The process where male and female gametes fuse to form a zygote.
Term: Embryo

Definition: The developing stage following fertilization where initial cell divisions occur.
Term: Metamorphosis

Definition: The process of transformation from larva to adult form, seen in animals like frogs.
Term: Viviparous Animals

Definition: Animals that give birth to live young ones instead of laying eggs.
Term: Oviparous Animals

Definition: Animals that lay eggs, with development taking place outside the female body.
