Study Notes
Reproduction in Plants
- All living organisms grow old and eventually die, but the species continues through reproduction.
Modes of Reproduction
- Reproduction can be divided into two categories: asexual and sexual.
Asexual Reproduction
- A single individual gives rise to a new organism.
- Asexual reproduction occurs when conditions are favourable for proper growth and development.
Sexual Reproduction
- Two individuals or cells of separate sexes are required to give rise to a new organism.
- The male parent produces male gametes, and the female parent produces female gametes.
- The male and female gametes fuse to form a zygote.
Natural Vegetative Propagation
- Some plants, like mango, reproduce with the help of seeds.
- Some plants are regenerated from leaves or stems.
- In some plants, like onion and garlic, bulbs (underground food storage organs) produce smaller buds that give rise to a new plant.
