Tell me about sexual reproduction |
| Answer» In sexual reproduction, the *** cells of one parent fuses with the *** cell of the other parent to form a new cell called zygote which develops into a new organism. The production of a new organism from two parents by making use of their *** cells is called sexual reproduction.\xa0Fertilization is the first step in sexual reproduction. When sperms come in contact with an egg, one of the sperms may fuse with the egg. Such fusion of the egg and the sperm is called fertilization. During fertilization, the nuclei of the sperm and the egg fuse to form a single nucleus which results in the formation of a fertilized egg or zygote. It is due to fertilization that the new individual inherits some characteristics from the mother and some from the father. | |
