Almost all animals use sexual reproduction in one way or another.

[27] Through the process of meiosis, they

create haploid gametes: ova are the larger, non-motile gametes and spermatozoa are the smaller, motile gametes.
[28] These combine to create zygotes, which undergo mitosis to become hollow spheres known as blastulas
[29]. Blastula larvae in sponges swim to a new spot, adhere to the seafloor, and mature into a new sponge.[30]
More intricate reorganization of the blastula occurs in the majority of other groups.[31] It begins by invaginating
to form a gastrula, which has an internal endoderm and an external ectoderm, two distinct germ layers, and a
digestive chamber.[32] The mesoderm, a third germ layer, typically forms in between them as well.[33] Then, as
these germ layers differentiate, tissues and organs are formed.
