Solution

Sexual reproduction:

The process by which the gametes of two parents fuse to form a zygote is referred to as sexual reproduction.

Human reproduction:

  1. The male and female reproductive organs are in charge of procreation.
  2. Sperm is produced in a male's testes, and eggs are produced in a female's ovary.
  3. The sperms are morbid, and they interact with the eggs, resulting in the fertilization process.
  4. The fertilization of sperm and egg results in the formation of a zygote.
  5. It is connected to the uterine wall.
  6. The placenta is formed by the tissues between the embryo and the female uterine walls.
  7. The placenta is the source of the embryo's nutrient supply, and it begins to grow.
  8. A new full-fledged life is born after a gestation period of approximately nine months.

Plant reproduction:

  1. Flowering plants can reproduce sexually because they have both male and female reproductive organs.
  2. Male gametes are produced by pollen grains and fuse with female egg cells.
  3. Wind, insects, water, and animals help pollen grains travel from the anther to the stigma of the flower.
  4. Pollination is the movement of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of the same or a different flower.
  5. A zygote is formed when the male and female gametes fuse. Cell division changes the zygote into an embryo, which grows to become a seed, and the ovary develops into a fruit.
  6. The seed has the potential to give birth to new life.
