Your Task: Mommy, Where do Babies Come from?Groups of 2: Each group gets an envelope
PART 1: On your whiteboard:-Group the scenarios into similar problems
1. MATES ARE HARD TO FIND2. MY EGGS WILL GET EATEN3. IM TOO BIG TO REPRODUCE4. MY EGGS ARE VULNERABLE
-How do the animals solve the problem?

• Which TWO REPRODUCTIVE STRATEGIES you looked at today would be useful in protecting eggs from predators?
USE YOUR NOODLE:
HERMAPHRODITISM:BROODING:CLONING:BROADCAST SPAWNING
• Which STRATEGY would OVERWHELM Predators?
Can Broadcasters be Hermaphroditic? Why or Why not?
USE YOUR NOODLE:
WHATS THE BENEFIT OF THIS?
Even though they both protect eggs from harm, BROADCASTING SPAWNING and BROODING do so
in different ways What are those differences?
USE YOUR NOODLE:
What benefit would CLONING provide for an organism?
USE YOUR NOODLE:
USE YOUR NOODLE:
• For the majority of animals we looked at today, when babies are born, they are released as microscopic plankton. What are the advantages to this? What are the disadvantages?
• Which of the REPRODUCTIVE STRATEGIES you looked at today would be considered SEXUAL and which would be considered ASEXUAL?
