Solution
The correct option is B Sexual reproduction Sexual reproduction is a form of reproduction where the two reproductive gametes obtained from both the parents fuse together, to form a zygote. The gametes involve a large ovum (or egg) obtained from female and a male's smaller sperm. Each gamete contains half the number of chromosomes of normal cells.
