Reproduction is the process by which living organisms give rise to offspring like themselves.
There are two types of reproduction: asexual and sexual.
Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of two gametes and produces variation.
Most organisms reproduce sexually for the increase in variation.
Plants reproduce sexually through flowers and pollination.
Pollination is the transfer of pollen from anther to stigma of the same species.
Pollination can be done through cross-pollination or self-pollination.
Pollination can be done by animals or wind.
After fertilization, the ovary becomes the fruit and the ovules become seeds.
Plants can also reproduce asexually through vegetative propagation.
