Sexual reproduction is a biological process in which offspring are produced through the fusion of male and female gametes, resulting in a diploid zygote that develops into a genetically distinct individual. This mode of reproduction promotes genetic diversity and variation within a species. Sexual reproduction is a natural way of reproduction in humans, animals and the majority of plants also choose to reproduce sexually. This type of reproduction is more complex and lengthy as compared to asexual reproduction . Moreover, reproducing sexually gives the benefit of variation and offsprings are unique. Sexual reproduction consists of a set of events and can be divided into three stages: Pre-fertilization, Fertilization, and Post-fertilization. Also Read: Sexual reproduction sexual reproduction, the production of new organisms by the combination of genetic information of two individuals of different sexes. In most species the genetic information is carried on chromosomes in the nucleus of reproductive cells called gametes, which then fuse to form a diploid zygote. Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of gametes (sperm and egg cells) from two parents, resulting in genetically diverse offspring . Asexual reproduction involves the creation of offspring without the involvement of gametes, leading to genetically identical or nearly identical progeny.
