hey mate...

here is your answer...

Despite the fact that adult sponges cannot move, they are capable of sexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction is the formation of a new organism by the fusion of gametes - an egg and a sperm cell. The sperm is usually produced by the male parent and the egg is produced by the female parent. However, most species of sponges are hermaphroditic, meaning that each individual can produce both eggs and sperm (hermaphrodite). Gametes contain half of the genetic information of each parent (half of their chromosomes), and their fusion during fertilization provides a complete set of chromosomes to the offspring. Sponges are also able to reproduce asexually. Asexual reproduction does not involve the formation of gametes. The offspring are often formed by budding from a single parent organism. In this concept, we will discuss how sponges carry out each of these types of reproduction.
