Types of Reproduction
Learning Time: 4-12 hours
Content: Asexual reproduction (cleavage, budding, vegetative reproduction) and sexual reproduction (fertilization, gamete formation) are covered in this topic. Reproductive mechanisms in humans, plants, and animals are compared. Embryonic development and post-fertilization processes are also covered in the curriculum. In TYT, this topic includes questions on types of reproduction and basic genetic connections. Current curricula may also address modern applications such as reproductive technologies (e.g., in vitro fertilization). An understanding of this topic is essential for learning about heredity and ecology.
