I had no idea that within the scientific accounts of reproductive biology‚ there could be a hidden stereotype implying that the male reproductive system is more dominant and active in its role than the female reproductive system. When I first began reading this article‚ I was a bit skeptical and thought that the author might have taken her ideas way a little far by thinking in between the

holds the chromosomes that give each human unique physical trait. The combination of genes starts through the process of meiosis wherein the male and female makes sperms and eggs. The presentation then explains the inside of the male and female reproductive system and how both are different from each other. I.e. Male sperm are more on the quantity than quality while female eggs value quality. The union of the two sets of chromosome from the male and female allows a merger of new unique sets of traits

This reproductive method is called fragmentation. 13) Simple reproductive methods cannot occur in higher multi-cellular organisms‚ since they have a complex and carefully organized body structure. 14) In complex multi-cellular organism‚ reproduction is brought about by a single‚ specialized
