Solution

(c) sexual reproduction

Sexual reproduction is a form of reproduction where two morphologically distinct types of specialized reproductive cells called gametes fuse together involving a female's large ovum (or egg) and a male's smaller sperm. Each gamete contains half the number of chromosomes of normal cells. Each male and female gametes will exchange half of their total number of chromosomes in the sexual mode of reproduction.
