Summary Introduction
To determine:
The role of meiosis, gamete formation, and fertilization in sexual life cycles
Introduction:
Reproduction is an important life process that enables an organism to produce offspring. It is important for the survival of different species of plants and animals. The process may involve a single parent or two parents. The two types of reproduction in living organisms are asexual and sexual reproduction. In asexual reproduction, a single parent divides to produces its offspring. Sexual reproduction is a process in which two parents are involved to produce offspring.
