$\large\color{black}{Modes \: of \: Reproduction}$

There are two modes of reproduction in animals.

(i) Sexual Reproduction

(ii) Asexual Reproduction

1. Sexual Reproduction: The production of a new animal by the existing two parents, by the fusion of their gametes, is called sexual reproduction. It involves the fusion of a male gamete with a female gamete which leads to the formation of a zygote, that develops into a new individual. Fishes, frogs, cows, dogs, horses, human beings, etc., reproduce by sexual reproduction.

2. Asexual Reproduction: The production of new animals by a single parent without the involvement of gametes is called asexual reproduction. Since fusion of gametes is not involved, zygotes are not formed in asexual reproduction. The young ones produced are the exact copy of their parents. Amoeba, Hydra, yeast, etc., reproduce by asexual reproduction.
