Unifying themes
All levels of life have systems of related parts
Structure and function are related in biology
Organisms must maintain homeostasis to survive in diverse environment
Evolution explains the unity and diversity of life
Traits are being inherited and transferred
Organisms reproduce
Organisms are interdependent with one another
Organisms acquire and process energy
Scientific inquiry
Science, technology, and society
Clone
Morphologically and genetically similar individuals
Sexual reproduction
Reproduction in animals that involves production of new living organism through combining two gametes from different organism, one male producing motile gamete that must fused with the egg cell from female organism
Egg
Largest cell in the female body waiting for a motile gamete to be fused with
Hermaphroditism
Having two reproductive systems in one organism
Budding
A new organism develops from an outgrowth or bud due to cell division at one particular site
Simple organisms reproduce through asexual reproduction – offspring come from a single parent and has the exact copy of the genes hence referred as "clone"
Sexual reproduction in animals is the production of new living organism by combining two gametes from different organism, one male producing motile gamete that must fused with the egg cell from female organism
Through sexual reproduction, similarity is preserve with respect to the transfer of genes from the parts to offspring and individuality that explains the individual characteristics possessed by an organism different from their parents nor siblings
Sexual Reproduction
1. Male gametes (sperm cell) fuses with female gamete (egg cell) to form a diploid cell called zygote containing two sets of chromosomes
2. Genetic material contained in their chromosomes combine to produce genetically diverse offspring that are different from both parents
Most mammals and amphibians reproduce through the method of sexual reproduction
Asexual Reproduction
Formation of new individuals from the cells of a single parent
Does not involve the union of gametes (sperm cell and egg cell) and it does not change the number of chromosomes present
Resulting offspring is similar or identical to the parent and without the need for a mate, they are able to reproduce
Asexual reproduction is very common in plants and is less common in animals
