What is sexual reproduction?


Open in App
Solution

Sexual Reproduction

  1. Sexual reproduction is the formation and fusion of haploid male and female gametes.
  2. The gametes are formed either in the same individual or in different individuals of the opposite sex.
  3. These gametes fuse to form the diploid zygote, which develops into a new organism.
  4. Most of the higher animals reproduce by this method.
  5. Since it involves the fusion of male and female gametes, the resulting offsprings are not identical to the parents or each other.
