How does sexual reproduction occur in humans?

Answer

Sexual reproduction requires the fusion of male gamete (sperms) and female gametes (ovum). The transfer of gametes takes place by mating. When these male and female gametes fuse they form zygote. The fertilised egg gets implanted in the uterus of the female. The normal gestation period is 9 months after which the birth of the child takes place.
