Sex can be described independently as the exchange of DNA from one organism to the other via the haplo-diploid mechanism. Reproduction can be considered to begin during embryogenesis when mitotic division starts and a new organism begins to develop. Sexual reproduction, therefore, is the process that creates a new organism by combining the genetic material of two organisms.[1]
