Detailed explanation-1: -In the human reproductive process, two kinds of sex cells, or gametes (pronounced: GAH-meetz), are involved. 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).
Detailed explanation-2: -The consensus is that an average of 2 million female sex cells, i.e. ova or eggs, are already formed in the female ovary in utero (although these eggs are not fully matured until ovulation). Furthermore, many of these eggs will die at a rate of approximately 10, 000 per month until puberty.
Detailed explanation-3: -In women, the reproductive system includes the ovaries, the fallopian tubes, the uterus, the cervix, and the vagina. In men, it includes the prostate, the testes, and the penis.
