What type of reproduction is called sexual?

Sexual reproduction is a method of reproduction that is characterized by the use of germ cells to form a new organism. Such reproduction consists in the fusion of gametes, which restores a double set and allows the parental genes to combine to form new traits that were not characteristic of the parental individuals. An exception is parthenogenesis, in which a new organism develops from a gamete, but the fusion of two cells does not occur. Such reproduction is characteristic of more developed animals and plants. The downside of this method is that you need to look for a partner to create offspring.
