Most animals reproduce sexually, where two individuals of opposite sexes come together to produce offspring through the fusion of gametes. Common methods of sexual reproduction include internal fertilization, where sperm is deposited inside the female's body, and external fertilization, where eggs and sperm are released into the environment for fertilization to occur. Some animals also reproduce asexually, where offspring are produced from a single parent without the need for gamete fusion.

Most animals reproduce sexually, where a male and female come together to produce offspring. Common methods include internal fertilization, where sperm fertilizes eggs inside the female's body, and external fertilization, where eggs and sperm are released into the environment to meet and fertilize outside the body.
The most common polysaccharide found in animals is glycogen.
Most fungi reproduce through the production of spores. These spores can be dispersed by wind, water, or animals to start new fungal colonies. Fungi can also reproduce sexually by combining genetic material from two different individuals to form a new spore-producing organism.
Animals can reproduce asexually through methods like budding, fragmentation, and parthenogenesis. In budding, a new individual develops as an outgrowth from the parent organism. Fragmentation involves breaking off a piece of the parent organism to grow into a new individual. Parthenogenesis is when an egg develops without being fertilized by a male, resulting in offspring that are genetic clones of the parent.
No, plants do not require two parent cells to grow. Many plants can reproduce asexually through methods such as cloning or by producing seeds through self-pollination. However, sexual reproduction involving two parent cells is also common in plants.
Plants can reproduce through both asexual and sexual means. Asexual reproduction includes methods like budding and fragmentation, while sexual reproduction involves the formation of seeds or spores through the fusion of gametes.
