Sexual
reproduction
is the creation of
offspring
by the fusion of male and female
to form a
.
Some animals
are
, but most must find a
mate
to reproduce.
Some animals can reproduce by
, where an egg develops into an adult without being
fertilized.
In humans, the gametes are produced in

In
females,
the gonads are the
where maturation of the
eggs,
or

Starting at puberty, oocytes are released in a

Fertilization occurs when the haploid nuclei of
and
fuse
to form a diploid
.
Contact of the sperm with the egg initiates an
reaction
followed by a
reaction
the blocks the entry of other sperm into the egg, or
.
Fertilization is followed by
, a period of rapid cell division without
growth,
producing many smaller cells called
that form a hollow ball of cells called a
.
The cells of a blastula start to differentiate in a process called
, forming a three-layered
(gastrula)
that has a primitive gut.
The three
embryonic
layers are the
, which forms the outer layer of the gastrula, the
, which lines the embryonic digestive tract, and the
in between.
Early in
vertebrate
organogenesis,
the
tube forms from infolding of the
, while the
and the
form from mesoderm.
The embryos of
(reptiles and mammals) develop within a fluid-filled sac with four
extraembryonic
.
Humans are
mammals with small eggs that store few nutrients; the
gives rise to the three germ
layers.
