Solution

Sexual reproduction is the formation of a new individual following the union of two gametes.
For fertilization to occur, sperm must be deposited in the vagina within a few (5) days before or on the day of ovulation. Sperm transfer is accomplished by copulation. Sexual excitation dilates the arterioles supplying blood to the penis. Blood accumulates in three cylindrical spongy sinuses that run lengthwise through the penis. The resulting pressure causes the penis to enlarge and erect and thus able to penetrate the vagina. Movement of the penis back and forth within the vagina causes sexual tension to increase to the point of ejaculation.This way sperm reach vagina.
