Sexual reproduction produces new individuals - Gametes (sperm & egg) formed by testes and ovaries - Fertilization produces one cell (a zygote)with one set of chromosomes from each parent - Creates genetic variation . Gonads produce

The Endocrine System System Although we rarely think about them‚ the glands of the endocrine system and the hormones they release influence almost every cell‚ organ‚ and function of our bodies. The endocrine system is instrumental in regulating mood‚ growth and development‚ tissue function‚ and metabolism‚ as well as sexual function and reproductive processes. In general‚ the endocrine system is in charge of body processes that happen slowly‚ such as cell growth. Faster processes like breathing

This occurs during sexual intercourse and perpetuates the survival of Humanity in order to reproduce offspring from generation to generation.
