What do you mean by sex?

• Sex is a biological concept. Agamogenesis (cloning) is routine in microorganisms and some plants, but most vertebrates and every one mammals have 2 distinct sexes.
• Even single cell organisms have “mating types” to facilitate amphimixis. Only cells belonging to different mating types can fuse together to breed sexually.
• Sexual reproduction allows for exchange of genetic information and promotes genetic diversity.
• The classical biological definition of the two sexes is that females have ovaries and make larger female gametes (eggs), whereas males have testes and make smaller male gametes (sperm); the two gametes fertilize to form the zygote, which has the potential to become a replacement individual.
• The advantage of this easy definition is first that it can be applied universally to any species of sexually reproducing organism.
• Second, it's a bedrock concept of evolution, because selection of traits may differ within the 2 sexes.
• Thirdly, the definition are often extended to the ovaries and testes, and during this way the categories female and male can be applied also to individuals who have gonads but do not make gametes.
