Squid Dissection Pre-Lab Notes Biology
Reproduction Reproduction can happen internally or externally for animals. Either way…reproduction is sexual reproduction (2 parents that each give half the DNA to offspring)
External Reproduction • When an organism deposits egg or sperm (gametes) into the environment. • Requires a large amount of egg or sperm at a less overall energy cost to the animal. • Environmental conditions/ predators may destroy most of the gametes. • Parent does not care for the offspring • Many offspring may be born, but only a few will survive to become adults
Squid • Squid have 8 arms and 2 tentacles which have suckers on them to help capture prey and move. • Arms are shorter • Tentacles are longer • Have 2 eyes (bilateral symmetry) • Use gills to get oxygen out of the water for “breathing”
Internal Reproduction • Requires fewer gametes to create an offspring. • Happens in a safe environment, protected from environment and predators. • Requires more energy from parent • Sometimes offspring develop inside the female • Sometimes offspring develop outside in the environment (such as laying eggs).
