What is Reproduction?
Reproduction is the process of producing individuals of the same kind. Most organisms reproduce by mating, which increases the genetic variability of the organism. The males and females have separate reproductive organs known as gonads. These gonads produce gametes that fuse together to form a single cell called the zygote.
Few animals such as earthworms, snails, slugs, etc. are hermaphrodites and possess male and female reproductive organs in the same organism.
