4.2 Male And Female Reproduction System
Part Function
Testis Produces sperms and male sex hormones (androgen and testosterone)
Protects the testes outside the body at a temperature which is lower than
Scrotum
the normal body temperature
Urethra Conveys semen or urine out of the male body at different times
2
Female reproductive system
Part Function
Ovary Produces ovum and female sex hormones (oestrogen and progesterone )
Fallopian tube
Helps to push mature ova from the ovary to the uterus
(Oviduct)
Uterus (womb) Place for the implantation of the embryo and foetus until birth

Changes in Males and Females during Puberty
Males Females
• involve the production of male sex • involve the production of female sex
hormones and sperms hormones, the release of mature eggs
• a change in attitude towards girls • a change in attitude towards boys
• an enlargement of the penis and the • the development of the breasts, the
growth of beard, chest hair, armpit growth of pubic and armpit hair
hair and pubic hair • a rapid increase in height and the
• a rapid increase in height, the widening of hips
broadening of the shoulders
• the development of body muscles
and the deepening of the voice

4.4 Fertilisation and Pregnancy
• Fertilisation is a process of fusion between the nucleus of male gamete with the nucleus
of the female gamete to produce a zygote.
5
4.5 Importance of Prenatal Care
• A balanced diet and nutritious food for the mother is important for proper growth and
development of the foetus.
(a) Protein: for the rapid growth of the foetus
(b) Calcium: for the development of strong bones and teeth
(c) Iron: to produce haemoglobin in the expectant mother’s blood
• Harmful substances such as drugs, alcohol and chemicals in tobacco smoke may cause
miscarriages and birth defects such as mental retardation and brain damage in the foetus.

4.7 Sexual Reproductive System of Flowering Plant
Part Function
Sepal Protects the flower at the bud stage
Attracts insects for pollination and
Petal
protects the stamens and pistil
Anther Produces pollen grains
Filament Supports the anther
Stigma Receives pollen grains
4.8 Pollination
• Pollination is the transfer of mature pollen grains from the stamen to the stigma.
Pollination
Self-pollination Cross-pollination
7
4.9 Development of Fruits and Seeds In Plants
After fertilization:
(a) the ovary develop into a fruit.
(b) the ovule develop into a seed.
(c) the sepals, petals, stamens,
style and stigma wither and fall
off.

4.11 Vegetative Reproduction In Flowering Plants
• A type of asexual reproduction.
• New plants are produced from certain parts of the parent plant, such as leaf, stem and root.
• The various vegetative parts and example of plants which carry out vegetative reproduction
are shown in the following table.
Vegetative
Reproduction Examples
Rhizome Ginger, lotus, canna, lemon grass, turmeric
Tuber Potato, dahlia
Runner Grass, strawberry. water lettuce
Corm Yam, Chinese turnip
Leaf Bryophyllum, Aloe vena, Begonia
Bulb Onion, hyacinth, lily plant
Sucker Banana tree, pineapple, bamboo
Stem Tapioca, sugarcane, hibiscus plant
