Summary Introduction
Introduction: The sexual reproduction in animals is classified mainly into 2 types, asexual and sexual reproductions. In the sexual reproduction, there involves the fusion of the male and female gamete through the process of fertilization that are produced either by the same organisms ( hermaphrodite or bisexual ) or by the different organisms( female or male ) which results in the formation of zygote that can soon develop into a new organisms.
