Key Topics to Revise

1

Asexual Reproduction in Animals

  • Asexual reproduction does not involve eggs or sperms.
  • Amoeba reproduces simply by dividing into two.
  • In amoeba binary fission, the nucleus divides first, followed by division of the cytoplasm, and then the two offspring separate.
2

Sexual Reproduction in Humans

  • Most animals reproduce sexually.
  • In sexual reproduction, males produce sperm cells and females produce egg cells or ova.
  • Sperm and egg are called gametes.
3

Female Reproductive System

  • The female reproductive system includes ovaries, oviducts or fallopian tubes, uterus, and vagina.
  • The ovaries are two whitish oval bodies lying within the lower half of the abdomen, one on either side of the uterus.
  • Only one egg is produced by an ovary alternatively every month.
4

Male Reproductive System

  • The male reproductive system includes testes, scrotum, epididymis, sperm ducts, seminal vesicles, prostate gland, Cowper's glands, urethra, and penis.
