− | '''Sexuality''' refers to a biologic state where reproduction is characterized by some manner of sexual union between the male and female of a species. This processes enables the passing of a combination of [[Genetics|genetic]] [[material]] to offspring, resulting in [[creativity|creative]] diversity. The main two processes are: [[meiosis]], involving the halving of the number of [[chromosome]]s; and [[fertilization]], involving the [[fusion]] of two gametes and the restoration of the original number of chromosomes. During meiosis, the chromosomes of each pair usually cross over to achieve genetic recombination. | + | '''Sexuality''' refers to a biologic state where reproduction is characterized by some manner of [[sexual intercourse|sexual union]] between the male and female of a species.
