Sexual reproduction is when two parents are involved and gamete formation takes place. The male reproductive organs produce sperm, which fertilize the female reproductive organs to create a zygote. The two gametes combine and form a new organism. The pollen grains produce male gametes which fuse with the egg cell of the female. The pollen grains are transferred from the anther to the stigma of the flower and travel through the style to reach the female gametes present in the ovule. The formation of gametes is known as gametogenesis. The zygote then undergoes a series of developmental stages, culminating in the formation of an embryo. The embryo is nourished by the mother and, after nine months, a new individual is born.

<p>Asexual reproduction is when a single parent is involved and no gamete formation takes place. It is further divided into fission, budding, vegetative propagation, regeneration, spore formation, and multiple fission. In fission, a single organism splits into two or more parts and each part develops into a new organism. Budding is a process in which a new organism is formed from an outgrowth or bud. Vegetative propagation involves the growth of new plants from roots, stems, and leaves. Regeneration is the process of regrowth of damaged body parts or organs. Spore formation is the process of producing spores from single cells. Multiple fission is when a single organism divides into multiple parts, each of which develops into an independent organism.</p> Signup and view all the answers
