Q

Events involved in reproduction

A

Gametogenesis = formation of haploid gametes
Gamete transfer / insemination =transfer of male gamete into female reproductive tract
Fertilisation = fusion of haploid male and female to diploid zygote
Implantation = attachment of blastocyst to Endometrium lining of uterus
Gastation = development of embryo
Parturition = child birth
