Detailed explanation-1: -Sexual reproduction always involves the formation of male and female gametes produced by two different organisms of the same species.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sexual reproduction involves the production of haploid gametes by meiosis. This is followed by fertilization and the formation of a diploid zygote. The number of chromosomes in a gamete is represented by the letter n.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Sexual reproduction is the process in which two parents are involved which produce two types of gamete i.e., male and female. The gametes fuse to form the zygote during fertilization. This is a compulsory event which allows the continuation of the species.

Detailed explanation-5: -Asexual reproduction, the simplest and most primitive method of reproduction, involves a single parent and produces a clone, an organism that is genetically identical to the parent. Haploid gametes are not involved in asexual reproduction.
