How Animals Reproduce?
Reproduction in animals happens in two ways i.e. sexual or asexual reproduction. Both processes have unique features. Sexual reproduction requires the fusion of male and female gametes whereas only one parent is involved in asexual reproduction. Animals reproduce so that their species can propagate and continue. Some examples of sexual reproduction are humans, flowering plants, etc. A few examples of asexual reproduction are hydras and amoebas.
