Accepted Answer

a) Parents are conservative in this topic, as a result they generally are shy talking about this topic. This may be due to lack of sex education in our country.

b) The pollinators help in pollination, i.e. union of male gamete and female gametes. As a result flowers are bloomed. Like this process, the union of male gamete and female gamete in animals will help in formation of new ones and hence continuity of race is maintained.
