12. C h a p t e r at G l a n e Reprodution is a type of life proess and it helps to prevent extintion of living organisms. Reprodution may be sexual or asexual. In asexual reprodution only one parent is involved and the ells divide mitotially. In sexual reprodution two parents are involved and the ells divide meiotially at the time of gametogenesis and mitotially after fertilization. Modes of asexual reprodution used by uniellular organisms are (1) binary fission (amoeba, paramoeium, euglena) (2) multiple fission (in amoeba during unfavourable ondition) (3) budding (yeast) Modes of asexual reprodution in multiellular organisms are: ( 1) fragmentation (spirogyra) ( 2) regeneration (planaria) (3) budding (hydra) (4) vegetative propagation (through plant parts like stem, root or leaves) ( 5) spore formation (Muor) The offsprings produed by asexual reprodution are genetially idential to the parents. Lak of geneti variation is the disadvantage while rapid reprodution is the advantage of asexual reprodution. In sexual reprodution, male parent produes male germ ells and female parent produes female germ ell or egg. Fertilization is the proess in whih male gamete (germ ell) fuses with the female gamete (germ ell) resulting in the formation of diploid zygote. Zygote develops into a new individual. Offsprings produed by sexual reprodution are different from parents. This variation enables organism to adapt and survive in the hanging environment. It also helps to prevent the omplete extintion of animal and plant speies. Flower is a funtional unit onerned with sexual reprodution in plants. The female reprodutive part of a flower is arpel and the male reprodutive parts is stamen. Pollination, fertilization and germination are the various proess of sexual reprodution in plants. Human body is physially ready to reprodue at the age of 18 in girls and 21 in boys. Testes and penis are the main reprodutive organs of the human male reprodutive system. Testis produe sperms (male germ ells) and also serete hormone testesteron whih is responsible for hanges in boys during puberty. Vagina, uterus, ovidut and ovaries are the main reprodutive organs of the human female reprodutive system. Ovaries develop and release eggs into the ovidut and also serete hormone estrogen whih brings about hanges in girls during puberty.
SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY - S.S.C. 135 Fertilization, development and birth are various stages of sexual reprodution in human beings. Limited family is advantageous to the individual as well as to the nation. Contraeptive method use of ondom not only protets the individual from STDs but also helps in population ontrol.
