Detailed explanation-1: -Sexual Reproduction in Animals. The process in which the male and female gametes fuse together to form a new individual is called sexual reproduction.

Detailed explanation-2: -The male gamete, or sperm, and the female gamete, the egg or ovum, meet in the female’s reproductive system. When sperm fertilizes (meets) an egg, this fertilized egg is called a zygote (pronounced: ZYE-goat). The zygote goes through a process of becoming an embryo and developing into a fetus.

Detailed explanation-3: -Isogamous is a type of sexual reproduction in which male and female gametes have similar morphology. They have similar shape and size. Anisogamous is a type of reproduction in which male and female gamete have different morphology. They differ in size and shape.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sexual reproduction In males, the gametes are sperm and in females, the gametes are eggs. When these two gamete combine during fertilization, the result is a zygote, which then continues to develop into an embryo. Overview of the process of sexual reproduction.

Detailed explanation-5: -Sexual reproduction requires the union of two specialized cells, called gametes, each of which contains one set of chromosomes. When gametes unite, they form a zygote, or fertilized egg that contains two sets of chromosomes.
