Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Reproduction Types:** - Reproduction can be classified into two main types: asexual and sexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction involves a single organism reproducing without the involvement of gametes, while sexual reproduction involves the fusion of male and female gametes. 2. **Identifying Human Reproduction:** - Humans are multicellular organisms that reproduce sexually. This means that the reproduction process involves two parents, typically a male and a female. 3. **Gamete Formation:** - In sexual reproduction, male and female gametes are produced. In humans, the male gamete is called sperm, and the female gamete is called the ovum (egg). 4. **Fertilization Process:** - During reproduction, the sperm from the male fertilizes the ovum from the female. This fusion of the two gametes leads to the formation of a zygote. 5. **Conclusion:** - Based on the above points, we conclude that humans reproduce sexually. **Final Answer:** Humans reproduce sexually. ---
