Answer:

Explanation:

Sexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that involves a complex life cycle in which a gamete (such as a sperm or egg cell) with a single set of chromosomes (haploid) combines with another to produce an organism composed of cells with two sets of chromosomes (diploid). Sexual reproduction is the most common life cycle in multicellular eukaryotes, such as animals, fungi and plants. Sexual reproduction does not occur in prokaryotes (organisms without cell nuclei), but they have processes with similar effects such as bacterial conjugation, transformation and transduction, which may have been precursors to sexual reproduction in early eukaryotes.

Answer:

Sexual Reproduction:

It is the process of reproduction in which two parents are involved to produce offsprings by fusion of a male and a female gamete.

Two main process involved in sexual reproduction:

  1. Gamete formation: In this, meiotic division occurs due to which chromosome number is reduced to half. As a result, haploid gametes are formed ( 2n --> n ).
  2. Fertilization: Haploid make gamete ( n ) fuses with haploid female gamete ( n ) to form diploid zygote ( 2n ).
