Internal and External Fertilisation

Sexual reproduction > union of male and female gametes (sperm and ova)> two parents donate genes to the young > genes are donated through a process called fertilisation > offspring with a mix of inherited genes.

Two mechanisms by which fertilisation can take place:

External - (The eggs are fertilised outside of the body).

Internal - (The eggs are fertilised within the female reproductive tract).
