Examples
However, the benefits of sexual reproduction are not toll-free, as this process depends on the correct formation of male and female gametes, as well as on a fruitful fertilisation.
Additionally, discovering the genetic causes of infertility and their consequences for the quality of gametes will be a very valuable insight to improve the selection criteria of spermatozoa for ICSI.
