Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Each parent contributes a gamete-a sex cell that has half of the normal DNA of a regular body cell. 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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sexual reproduction involves formation of the male and female gametes, either by the same individual or by different individuals of the opposite sex. These gametes fuse to form the zygote which develops to form the new organism. It is an elaborate, complex and slow process as compared to asexual reproduction.
