Have you ever wondered how animals multiply or give birth to their own kind? This happens through reproduction, the biological process by which new life is created. There are two main types: sexual and asexual reproduction. While procreation is often used synonymously with reproduction, it specifically refers to sexual reproduction, which involves both a male and female parent. In this pathway, you will explore how sexual reproduction works in humans and animals, learn about reproductive organs, fertilization, and fetal development, and understand how different species ensure the survival of their kind.
