Reproduction in Animals
Animals use both sexual and asexual reproduction methods. Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of male and female gametes, known as fertilization. Asexual reproduction in animals encompasses processes like binary fission, budding, and fragmentation.Organisms undergoing asexual reproduction lack reproductive systems, leading to the absence of male and female gamete formation.
What is Reproduction?
Reproduction is a biological process where living things create new individuals that inherit the same biological traits. Interestingly, humans and animals share this incredible ability. As evolution unfolded, more complex cells emerged, and it became crucial for them to have this ability to replicate. For unicellular organisms, reproduction means creating an entirely new individual. But for the multicellular organisms, it also means growing and reproducing. In this article, we will study the reproduction and types of reproduction.
