Reproductive biology is the study of the reproductive processes and mechanisms in organisms. This field encompasses a wide range of topics including gamete production, fertilization, embryonic development, pregnancy, and reproductive health. Researchers in this area often study the hormonal and physiological control of reproductive processes, as well as the evolution and genetics of reproductive strategies. Reproductive biology is important for understanding fertility, infertility, and reproductive disorders in both humans and other animals. By studying reproductive biology, researchers hope to improve reproductive health outcomes and develop new strategies for contraception and fertility treatments.
