3. GCE BIOLOGY BY2 Reproductive Strategies Reproduction What type of reproduction does this animation represent? Hint: Mitosis is involved. Identical offspring to the parent is produced. Simple unicellular organism Next: What type of reproduction?

4. GCE BIOLOGY BY2 Reproductive Strategies Sexual Occurs when unicellular organisms, such as amoeba reproduce Produces offspring showing variation from the parent Only involves mitosis Involves the production of haploid gametes (n) (sex cells with one copy of each of the parents’ chromosomes) What Type of Reproduction? Drag the corresponding numbers to the appropriate circle to determine if the statement relates to sexual or asexual reproduction: Asexual 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4

12. GCE BIOLOGY BY2 Reproductive Strategies Fertilisation Human Fish Compare fertilisation in a fish and humans A strong possibility that many of the eggs will not encounter sperm A lot of waste with both sexes producing a large number of gametes Fertilisation happens inside the body An intromittent organ required to transfer sperm into the female’s body

15. GCE BIOLOGY BY2 Reproductive Strategies The Insect Life Cycle Many insects change form during their lifetime - this is called metamorphosis. They do this in one of two ways: a) Complete metamorphosisb) Incomplete metamorphosis Click on the images above for a larger version of the life cycles Next: The fly life cycle

19. GCE BIOLOGY BY2 Reproductive Strategies Metamorphosis metamorphosis insect Choose an insect and drag it to the ‘insect’ box below. Decide what type of metamorphosis it has, then complete its life cycle by dragging the appropriate labels into the correct position on the diagram: complete metamorphosis incomplete metamorphosis egg larva nymph pupa chrysalis adult
