Sexual and Asexual reproduction
Sexual reproduction sexual reproduction, the production of new organisms by the combination of genetic information of two individuals of different sexes . In most species the genetic information is carried on chromosomes in the nucleus of reproductive cells called gametes, which then fuse to form a diploid zygote. -The process of sexual reproduction occurs by the formation of gametes with a haploid set of chromosomes. -Sexual reproduction is common in higher organisms such as multicellular animals. Examples H u m a n s M a m m a l s In sexual reproduction, two parents donate genes to their offspring through a process called fertilization.
