Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Sexual reproduction occurs when the sperm from the male parent fertilizes an egg from the female parent, producing an offspring that is genetically different from both parents.

Detailed explanation-3: -How do humans reproduce? Humans reproduce sexually. During sexual reproduction, two parents are involved. Humans are dioecious, meaning there is a separate male and female sex, with the male producing sperm and the female producing eggs.

Detailed explanation-4: -No, humans could not ever reproduce asexually. The human reproductive system is highly specialized for sexual reproduction.

Detailed explanation-5: -Reproduction in Humans. In humans, reproduction occurs after the formations of male and female gametes, which later fertilize to give rise to an embryo. The complete process of fertilization in humans is called internal fertilization as it occurs within the body of a female.
