2: Types of fertilisation
Based on where the fertilisation occurs, it can be classified into two types -
a. Internal fertilisation -
fusion of male and female gametes occurs within the body. Example - human
b. External fertilisation -
fusion of male and female gametes occurs outside the body. Example- frog
