Solution

Dear Student

​There are two modes of reproduction in both plants and animals- Sexual and Asexual reproduction.

Sexual reproduction
Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of male and female gametes to produce an offspring. A number of animals, including humans and plants undergo sexual reproduction.

Asexual reproduction
Asexual reproduction does not involve the fusion of male and female gametes. It requires only one parent. As a result, the offsprings produced are exact copies of their parents. This mode of reproduction is very common in plants.
