1.Переведите текст “How Animals Reproduce”

In higher animals the process of reproduction is known as sexual reproduction. In the reproduction of higher animals there are two parents ─ male and female. The female produces the egg or egg cells (ova) and the male produces the sperms or sperm cells. We know all higher animals to develop from on ovum produced by the female (mother) and fertilized by the male (father). This is true of chickens, calves, lambs, pigs, and other such animals.

Gestation period. - The period of development from the time the egg is fertilized until the animal is born is known as the gestation period. Large species of animals have long gestation periods; small species of animals have short gestation periods. Thus, the gestation period of rabbits is 30 days, cats - 60, dogs - 61, sows - 114, ewe -150, cows - 283. ' •

Number of young produced. - The cow ordinary produces one offspring each year. In some cases twins occur or even triplets; however, twins are exception rather than the rule. In cattle, twins are born about once in every eight births.

Sows may produce two litters a year, and they usually have from six to twelve pigs each litter. Sometimes sows have even as many as nineteen pigs in a litter.

Ewes ordinary produce lambs only once a year. They usually raise one lamb than raise a larger number.
