Male and female reproductive systems allow for sexual reproduction through specialized organs. The male system produces sperm cells in the testes, which are transported through the sperm ducts. The female system contains ovaries that release egg cells and other organs like the uterus where a fetus develops if fertilization occurs. When a sperm and egg cell unite, either internally or externally depending on the species, fertilization happens and an embryo forms and implants in the uterus, developing further with nutrients from the placenta until birth.
