Methods of Sexual Reproduction
• In chapter 2, we learned that there are a variety of methods of asexual reproduction.
• There are also several different methods of sexual reproduction.
![Page 3: Methods of Sexual Reproduction](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568161bd550346895dd19bba/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Conjugation
• Conjugation is a way for single-celled organisms to exchange genetic information.– These organisms can also reproduce asexually by
binary fission.• It happens in some bacteria and some
protists.

Conjugation
• This is how it happens in the bacteria E. coli.– One cell copies an extra piece of its DNA called a
plasmid.– It then donates the plasmid copy to another cell.– Both of the daughter cells then reproduce
asexually by binary fission.– The offspring they produce have the same amount
of genetic information as the parent cell.

Conjugation

Conjugation
• Conjugation is important because it increases the diversity of the individuals in the unicellular species.– This may also be a factor that helps some bacteria
become resistant to antibiotics.– They survive and pass their resistance to their
offspring.

Hermaphrodites
• There are some species who rarely come into contact with other members of their species throughout their lifetime.– Think plants and animals that don’t move and
animals like earthworms• This would make it inconvenient if the
individual they encounter is not of the opposite sex.– Reproduction wouldn’t be able to take place!
![Page 8: Methods of Sexual Reproduction](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568161bd550346895dd19bba/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Hermaphrodites
• To solve this problem, some species are hermaphrodites.
• A hermaphrodite is an organism that produces both male and female sex cells in the same individual.– This means that a hermaphrodite can mate with
ANY other member of the species to produce offspring!
![Page 9: Methods of Sexual Reproduction](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568161bd550346895dd19bba/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Hermaphrodites
• Earthworms are a good example:– All earthworms produce both eggs and sperm.– To reproduce, two earthworms attach, exchange
sperm, then separate.– The worms store the sperm in special sacs until
the eggs are ready for fertilization.
![Page 10: Methods of Sexual Reproduction](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568161bd550346895dd19bba/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Hermaphrodites
– Once fertilization takes place, the clitellum makes a mucus ring/coccoon for the fertilized eggs and slips off the worm into the soil.

Hermaphrodites
• There are some aquatic hermaphrodites that are stuck in one place.– Sponges– Barnacles
• The produce their sperm and eggs at different times so they do not fertilize their own eggs.
![Page 12: Methods of Sexual Reproduction](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568161bd550346895dd19bba/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Hermaphrodites
• Sponges– Sponges release their sperm
into the water to be carried to other sponges.
– Fertilization occurs inside the sponge.
– Then the baby sponges (larvae) swim away and settle somewhere else.

Hermaphrodites
• Barnacles– Barnacles actually have a penis that extends to the
neighboring barnacle to deposit sperm.– The barnacle larvae are then released into the
water to be carried away to other locations.

Flowering Plants
• Most flowers are hermaphrodites.
![Page 15: Methods of Sexual Reproduction](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568161bd550346895dd19bba/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Flowering Plants
• The male reproductive structure is the stamen.– The stamen is made of the filament and the
anther.– The filament
supports the anther.
– The anther produces pollen.
![Page 16: Methods of Sexual Reproduction](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568161bd550346895dd19bba/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Flowering Plants
• The female reproductive structure is the pistil.– The top of the pistil is the stigma. It is sticky so
that it can receive the pollen grain.– The pollen will travel down the tube called a style.– At the bottom of
the style is the ovary where the eggs are contained.
![Page 17: Methods of Sexual Reproduction](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568161bd550346895dd19bba/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Flowering Plants
• The most noticeable part of the flower is the petals and they serve a purpose in reproduction too.– The colour or the
scent of the flower is what attracts the birds and the bees to it, then they fly away with pollen stuck to them to pollinate/fertilize another flower.
![Page 18: Methods of Sexual Reproduction](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568161bd550346895dd19bba/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Flowering Plants
• The sperm of the flowering plants is contained in the pollen grains.
• Pollination is when the pollen gets moved from the stamen of one flower to the pistil of another in a variety of ways:– Wind– Insects– Birds– Mammals
![Page 19: Methods of Sexual Reproduction](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568161bd550346895dd19bba/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Flowering Plants
• Some plants can pollinate themselves.– This is called self-pollination
• Plants can also pollinate other individuals (of the same species).– This is called cross-pollination
• Fertilization follows, then the fertilized egg, or zygote, develops into a seed.
![Page 20: Methods of Sexual Reproduction](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568161bd550346895dd19bba/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Separate Sexes
• More complex animals and some plants have separate females and males.– The females produce eggs.– The males produce sperm.
![Page 21: Methods of Sexual Reproduction](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568161bd550346895dd19bba/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Separate Sexes
• Some plants like conifers have separate male and female cones on the same plant.
• Some others have separate male and female flowers on the same plant.
• And others have separate male and female flowers on separate plants.
![Page 22: Methods of Sexual Reproduction](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568161bd550346895dd19bba/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Separate Sexes
• And now we finally get to animals!• In animals with separate sexes, there are two
possible methods of fertilization:– External fertilization– Internal fertilization
![Page 23: Methods of Sexual Reproduction](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568161bd550346895dd19bba/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Separate Sexes
• External fertilization:– Eggs and sperm are released and fertilized outside
of the body.– Salmon are a good example:• The female lays the eggs• The male releases
sperm over top of the eggs
![Page 24: Methods of Sexual Reproduction](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568161bd550346895dd19bba/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Separate Sexes• Internal fertilization:– Some aquatic animals and most land animals
require the sperm from the male to be deposited inside the body of the female.
– These animals have specialized structures to accomplish this.
