Isogamy and Heterogamy

  1. Isogamy is a type of sexual reproduction observed in most unicellular eukaryotes that involve gametes with the same morphology.
  2. Since both gametes use the same appearance, they cannot be identified as male or female.
  3. Heterogamy or anisogamy is the fusion of gametes having dissimilar sizes and morphology.
