Class 8 Reproduction

This document contains a biology assignment on reproduction in animals with 12 questions covering various topics: 1) The gender of human offspring is determined by the male, sex hormones regulate secondary sexual characteristics, and sperm need motility. 2) Asexual reproduction does not involve the fusion of gametes and has the advantages of faster reproduction and adapting to changes. 3) Binary fission is the reproduction process where a single parent cell divides into two daughter cells, and it occurs in organisms like amoeba and bacteria. 4) The final question asks the student to define several key reproduction terms like male gamete, reproductive ability, zygote, oviparous animal, and female gamete.

CH REPRODUCTION IN ANIMALS
ASSIGNMENT CLASS 8

1. Give reasons for the following:-


(a) Gender of the resulting offspring is determined by the male parent in humans.
(b) Sex hormones regulate secondary sexual characters.
(c) Sperms need to have motility.

2 .Define asexual reproduction ? What are the advantages of this method ?

3 .Explain the meaning of Binary Fission. Name a few organisms that reproduce by
binary fission . Also draw a series of diagrams to demonstrate this process in amoeba ?

4. Draw a well labelled diagram of female reproductive system of human beings.

5. Draw a well labeled diagram showing budding in hydra.

6. Arrange the following in correct order to show the process of fertilization.


a) The result of the fusion of sperm and egg is called a fertilized egg or a zygote.
b) Sperm travels through the vagina into the oviduct.
c) The nuclei of the sperm fuse with the egg to form a single nucleus.
d) Each month a matured egg is given out by the ovaries.
e) The fertilized egg then develops into a baby inside the mother's uterus.

7. There are two types of fertilizations in mammals: internal and external. Based on this,
mention whether the human system has internal fertilization or external? Give reason
for your answer.

8. . You are part of a team working on a conservation project to protect the habitat of a
particular frog species known for its unique metamorphosis. In amphibians,
metamorphosis is initiated by hormones from the tadpole's thyroid gland, and these
changes prepare an aquatic organism for a terrestrial existence.
a. Describe the stages of metamorphosis in frogs, from egg to adult.

b. Explain how the diet of tadpoles differs from that of adult frogs during
metamorphosis.

c. Mention any two external changes that occur in frogs as they go through
metamorphosis?
d. Discuss the differences in respiration between tadpoles and adult frogs. How do
these changes relate to their habitat.

e. Mention the role of the thyroid gland in frog metamorphosis?

Question No. 9 and 10 consist of two statements – Assertion (A) and Reason
(R). Answer these questions selecting the appropriate option given below:
a) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
b) Both A and R are true, and R is not the correct explanation of A.
c) A is true but R is false.
d) A is false but R is true.

9. Assertion: Hermaphroditic animals have both male and female reproductive organs.

Reason: Hermaphroditic animals can mate with any other member of their species, as
they possess both the ability to produce and receive gametes.

10. Assertion: Oviparous animals lay eggs as part of their reproductive process.

Reason: Oviparous animals develop and lay eggs outside of their bodies, and their
offspring typically hatch from these eggs.
11.

Identify the microorganism shown in the above diagram. Explain the mode of reproduction.
Name any other organism showing this mode of reproduction.

12. Give term


● Male gamete
● Ability of living organisms to produce young ones
● Cluster of cells formed in uterus
● Egg laying animal having a calcite shell
● Female gamete
