What is Reproduction?
Reproduction can be defined as the biological process by which organisms produce offspring, ensuring the continuation of their species. It involves the transfer of genetic material from one generation to the next, which maintains genetic diversity and continuity. Reproduction can occur either sexually or asexually, depending on the species.
How Reproduction is Happening in Humans?
Humans are sexually reproducing organisms. They produce gametes containing genetic material that form the zygote and develop into offspring. The process of reproduction in humans includes the development of gametes (gametogenesis), which are sperm cells in males and egg cells in females, the transfer of sperm into the female reproductive system (insemination), the fusion of male and female gametes (fertilization), to form a zygote and the development of the zygote into a baby.
