👉 Oogamy is a term used in the context of human sexual reproduction, which refers to the reproductive process by which male and female gametes (sperm and egg) combine to form a zygote. This process results in the formation of a new organism that has two copies of each chromosome of both parents. Oogamy is typically used in discussions about genetic diversity and population genetics, as it involves the exchange of genetic material between individuals from different species or populations.
