Types of reproduction
There are two major forms of reproduc on: sexual and asexual.

Sexual reproduction
Sexual reproduction requires two parents. 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.

during fer liza on, the result is a
zygote, which then con nues to
develop into an embryo.
