    Human reproduction naturally takes place as internal fertilization by sexual intercourse. During this process, the man inserts his erect penis into the woman's vagina and then either partner initiates rhythmic pelvic thrusts until the man achieves orgasm , which leads to ejaculation of semen containing sperm into the vaginal canal.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_reproductive_system

    The human female reproductive system is a series of organs primarily located inside the body and around the pelvic region of a female that contribute towards the reproductive process. The human female reproductive system contains three main parts: the vagina, which leads from the vulva, the vaginal opening, to the uterus; the uterus, which ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reproductive_biology

    Animal reproduction occurs by two modes of action, including both sexual and asexual reproduction. [1] In asexual reproduction the generation of new organisms does not require the fusion sperm with an egg. [1] However, in sexual reproduction new organisms are formed by the fusion of haploid sperm and eggs resulting in what is known as the ...

    Human fertilization is the union of an egg and sperm, occurring primarily in the ampulla of the fallopian tube. [1] The result of this union leads to the production of a fertilized egg called a zygote, initiating embryonic development.

    Reproduction (or procreation or breeding) is the biological process by which new individual organisms – "offspring" – are produced from their "parent" or parents. There are two forms of reproduction: asexual and sexual. In asexual reproduction, an organism can reproduce without the involvement of another organism.

  8. Sexual reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_reproduction

    Sexual reproduction is the most common life cycle in multicellular eukaryotes, such as animals, fungi and plants. [6] [7] Sexual reproduction also occurs in some unicellular eukaryotes. [2] [8] Sexual reproduction does not occur in prokaryotes, unicellular organisms without cell nuclei, such as bacteria and archaea.

    Net Reproduction Rate (NRR) - the NRR starts with the GRR and adds the realistic assumption that some of the women will die before age 49; therefore they will not be alive to bear some of the potential babies that were counted in the GRR. NRR is always lower than GRR, but in countries where mortality is very low, almost all the baby girls grow ...
