What is the biological requirement for reproduction for male and female?
The male produces sperm cells, which carry his genes. The sperm cell meets an egg cell from the female which carries her genes. The sperm cell penetrates the egg's outer layer. This is called "fertilizing" the egg. Normally, the outer layer of the fertilized cell thickens, so no more sperm cells can enter it. The fertilized egg then travels to the woman's uterus, where it attaches to the wall of the uterus and ultimately develops into a fetus.
