Detailed explanation-1: -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-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: -Sexual reproduction involves a female and a male, each contributing genetic material in the form of eggs or sperm, to create a unique offspring. The vast majority of animal species reproduce sexually, but females of some species are able to produce eggs containing all the genetic material required for reproduction.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction involving the fusion of haploid female gamete (egg cell) and haploid male gamete (sperm cell). The fusion of these gametes occurs at fertilization resulting in the formation of a diploid zygote.

Detailed explanation-5: -Unisexual reproduction involves one parent either with genital organs of single sex or the gametes produced are sterile so that there is no production of viable seeds. This is otherwise called as parthenogenesis. In organisms like honey bees and wasps, males develop by the method of parthenogenesis.
