Reproduction in Animals Class 8 Notes – Chapter 9
Reproduction is vital for the continuation of species. There are two modes of reproduction in animals, they are:
- Sexual reproduction – A type of reproduction in which gametes are produced by the reproductory parts and fuses to form a zygote which later develops into a new individual
- Asexual reproduction – Type of reproduction which involves only a single parent.
The male reproductive parts in humans are comprised of a penis, a pair of testes and two sperm ducts. Male gametes known as sperms are produced by the testes. While the female reproductive organs include the uterus, oviducts (fallopian tube) and ovaries. Female gametes known as ova are produced by the ovary.
