[2] [8] Sexual reproduction does not occur in prokaryotes, unicellular organisms without cell nuclei, such as bacteria and archaea.

    In biology, mating is the pairing of either opposite-sex or hermaphroditic organisms for the purposes of sexual reproduction. Fertilization is the fusion of two gametes. [1] Copulation is the union of the sex organs of two sexually reproducing animals for insemination and subsequent internal fertilization. [2]

  5. Modes of reproduction - Wikipedia

  7. Anisogamy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anisogamy

    Anisogamy is the form of sexual reproduction that involves the union or fusion of two gametes which differ in size and/or form. [12] The smaller gamete is considered to be male (a sperm cell), whereas the larger gamete is regarded as female (typically an egg cell, if non-motile).

  8. Copulation (zoology) - Wikipedia

    In zoology, copulation is animal sexual behavior in which a male introduces sperm into the female's body, especially directly into her reproductive tract. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] This is an aspect of mating . Many aquatic animals use external fertilization , whereas internal fertilization may have developed from a need to maintain gametes in a liquid ...

  9. External fertilization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_fertilization

    External fertilization is a mode of reproduction in which a male organism's sperm fertilizes a female organism's egg outside of the female's body. [1] It is contrasted with internal fertilization, in which sperm are introduced via insemination and then combine with an egg inside the body of a female organism.
