 ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
• Only ONE PARENT involve
• Have NO FERTILIZATION process
• New individual SIMILAR to their parent
• Have NO VARIATION
ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION

BINARY REGENERATION VEGETATIVE

FISSION REPRODUCTION

SPORE
BUDDING
FORMATION
BINARY
Division of a single parent cell
FISSION into two daughter cells. Eg:
Amoeba, paramecium
 - Forming a bud on the organism’s
BUDDING body
- Starts off as a swelling
 REGENERATION
Ability of the fragments of some
organisms to grow and develop into
PLANARIA completely new individuals
STARFISH
 SPORE Spore (in sporangium) which is tiny
FORMATION and light get scattered by the wind
 - Produce new plants from a vegetative part of
VEGETATIVE
plant
REPRODUCTION
- Vegetative part: roots, stem, bulb, leave
- Eg: carrot, onion, ginger, potato

4.3 THE MENSTRUAL CYCLE

menstrual cycle???
menstruation???
MENSTRUATION When women reach puberty
MENSTRUATION
Breakdown of the lining
of the uterine wall and
discharge of blood
through the vagina
FEMALE REPRODUCTION SYSTEM
Ovary and ovum
1. Controlled by the brain and endocrine system
- Secrete hormone
2. Lasts for 28 days (differs for each individual)
3. Factors that affect the menstrual cycle
• Nutrient intake
• Abrupt change in body weight
• Emotional changes and mental pressure
MENSTRUAL CYCLE
- Series of changes that
occurs in the uterine
wall and the ovaries

- Involve formation and

release of mature
ovum
4 PHASE
1.

MENSTRUATION PHASE
day 1-5
- Uterine lining  breaks down (menstruation)
- Discharged together (blood, unfertilized ovum and mucus)
2.

REPAIR PHASE
day 6-11
- Uterine lining  starts to rebuild and thicken
- Blood vessels form
- Ready to receive implantation of fertilized ovum
3.

FERTILE PHASE
day 12-17

- Ovum released (14th day)  OVULATION

- Uterine lining  continues thicken
- Fertilisation occur  if sperms are present
4.

PREMENSTRUAL PHASE
day 18-28
- Uterine lining  thicken/richly supplied with blood vessel
- if fertilisation occur  Ready for implantation of an embryo
- If fertilization not occur menstrual cycle will repeat
MENSTRUAL
CYCLE
 Importance of personal hygiene
during menstruation
- Ensure reproductive
system is not infected
with microorganisms
like bacteria, virus and
fungi
1. Change sanitary pad 3-4 times a day 
prevent infection of bacteria and virus
2. Menstruating women  bathe frequently
 IRREGULAR MENSTRUATION
(negative effect)
- Infertility (eg: ovarian cancer, uterus cancer)
- Difficulties in family planning
- Health problem (eg: anaemia)

IMPORTANT OF BREAST MILK
Babies depend solely on milk as their
source of nutrients - does not have teeth
and cannot eat solid food

• Contain all essential nutrients

• Contain antibodies protect baby
from certain diseases
• Mother/baby  become closer
• Better digestion compare to formula
milk

have blockage
in their
fallopian
tube/sperm
duct
Methods to overcome sterility
3. In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) blockage in their
fallopian tube

Takes out the ovum to be fertilized with the sperm outside

the body. Embryo formed then put inside the uterus
Methods of Contraception
1. Contraceptive pills Married couple
can plan their
family

Can prevent
ovulation

Secrete the
hormone that
prevent ovary from
producing ovum

from entering
the vagina

4. Intrauterine Contraceptive Device (IUCD)

Inserted inside the woman’s uterus (prevent

implantation)
Methods of Contraception
5. Vasectomy
Cut the sperm duct,
two ends are then
tied to prevent
sperm from being
transported
Methods of Contraception
6. Ligation

Cut the fallopian tubes, two ends are then tied to

prevent ovum from meeting the sperm
The importance of
practicing frequent health
screening to get
immediate treatment for
problems related to
reproductive system
HEALTH SCREENING  detect early
symptoms of chronic diseases

Yearly (starting at the age of 40)

CANCER (uterine,
cervical, prostate)
 Can be treated
if detected earlier
 Reduce risk of

flower’s parts
2. Pollination process
3. Process of fertilization and
formation of seeds and fruits
4. Germination process of a seed
5. What to do if germination
Plant need to reproduce
to ensure their survival.
They have to be
replaced with
new organisms
 Activity 1 : Dissect a flower
• Dissect your specimens.
• Identify the following parts:
(a) Flower petal and sepal.
(b)Male reproductive organ.
(c)Female reproductive organ.
• 3. Draw and label the structures of the flowers that
you have observed.
 Longitudinal
section of a flower
Longitudinal section of a
other flowers
STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF EACH PART OF A FLOWER
 Female Male
Reproductive Reproductive
Organ Organ
Usually colourful to attract insects and animals
Protect flower during the bud stage
 Types of flowers
• Bisexual and unisexual flowers
• Bisexual - they have both male
(stamen) and female (pistil)
reproductive organs in the same
flower
• Unisexual - they only have stamen
or pistil

Papaya plant, corn plant

POLLINATION
- Process of transferring matured pollen grains from
anther to stigma
POLLINATION
- Matured anther will burst and spread the pollen grains

Some
might Some are
fall on brought by
soil pollinating
agents to the
stigma
POLLINATION – (self-
pollination)
Pollen grain
 transferred to
the stigma (same
flower)

Pollen grain
 transferred to
the stigma of
another flower
(same plant)
POLLINATION – (cross-pollination)

Pollen grain transferred to the stigma of another

flower (different plant of the same species)
POLLINATION AGENTS

How pollen grains from a plant get transferred from

the anther to the stigma?
1. Pollen grain from anther 2. Pollen grain carried by the
(flower A) sticks on the insect are transferred to the
body/legs of the insect stigma (flower B)
POLLINATION AGENTS
1. Animals and insects
- pollen grain stick on the beak/body
- When insects suck its nectar

Flower’s characteristic
- big/colorful petal
- Have nectar/smell nice
- Rough/sticky pollen grain
durian rambutan

EXAMPLES
POLLINATION AGENTS
2. Wind
- Light pollen grain blown by the wind
- Reaches the stigma of another flower

Flower’s characteristic
- White/pale petal
- Long and furry stigma
- Plenty of small, smooth and light PG
- Long filament and style
 grass

corn
EXAMPLES

 The Advantages of Cross-Pollinatio
- Combines genetic materials from two parent plants of the same species

1. New varieties of plants

 The Advantages of Cross-Pollinatio
- Combines genetic materials from two parent plants of the same species

2. Good quality seeds

 The Advantages of Cross-Pollinatio
- Combines genetic materials from two parent plants of the same species

3. More resistant to pests and diseases

 The Advantages of Cross-Pollinatio
- Combines genetic materials from two parent plants of the same species

 Activity : Future Scientist
GMO food is not something new to everyone.
Especially now when you have learn about the
advantages of cross pollination. Just imagine that you
are a scientist now. You would like to invent a new
GMO food that has better quality. Which food will you
choose to upgrade and how would you do that ? Why
you choose the particular food ? Explain everything in
an essay form.
 Fertilisation Process
- Male gamete
carried by the
pollen fuses
with the female
gamete in the
ovule
1.Pollen grain  fall onto
stigma
2.Pollen tube  carried
male gamete towards
ovary
3.Pollen tube penetrate the
ovule
4.Male gamete fuses with
female gamete
(fertilisation)
• After fertilisation, the ovule grows inside the ovary and then develops into seeds
• A seed is made up of an embryo wrapped in a seed coat or testa
• The other parts of the flower will wither and fall.
• Seeds are divided into two which are monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous
Structure of Seed and Their Function
- Ovule grows inside
ovarydevelop
into seed
- Other part of
flower wither
and fall
 Protects the seed
Small hole to
allow air/water to
enter the seed Develop into
new shoot

Stores/provide food Develop into

for the seed the root
 Activity 2 : Drawing & Labelling
Work in group to complete :
a.The process of fertilisation
b.Upon fertilisation, the
development of seed
c.Present in front of class
 Germination of Seeds
• Testa bursts
• Radicle starts to appear and grow downwards
into the soil to form root
• Plumule grows upwards to form a new shoot
Certain cotyledons are carried out of the soil
and this is known as epigeal germination
There are also cotyledons that remain in the soil
during germination. This germination is known as
hypogeal germination
 Cotyledon are Cotyledon remain
carried out of the in the soil during
soil germination
The conditions required for germination of seeds

• Water
• Air
• Suitable temperature
