Controlled by hormones and environmental cues.

Each individual has BOTH male and female reproductive systems.

Mechanisms that bring together sperm and eggs of the same species

Fertilized by sperm in the external environment.

Sperm are deposited in or near the female reproductive tract, and fertilization occurs within the tract.
