### Reproduction Students should: * understand the differences between sexual and asexual reproduction * understand that fertilization involves the fusion of a male and female gamete to produce a zygote that undergoes cell division and develops into an embryo ### Flowering plants * describe the structures of an insect-pollinated and a wind-pollinated flower and explain how each is adapted for pollination * understand that the growth of the pollen tube followed by fertilization leads to seed and fruit formation * **practical:** investigate the conditions needed for seed germination * understand how germinating seeds utilise food reserves until the seedling can carry out photosynthesis * understand that plants can reproduce asexually by natural methods (illustrated by runners) and by artificial methods (illustrated by cuttings) ### Humans * understand how the structure of the male and female reproductive systems are adapted for their functions * understand the roles of oestrogen and progesterone in the menstrual cycle * understand the roles of FSH and LH in the menstrual cycle * describe the role of the placenta in the nutrition of the developing embryo * understand how the developing embryo is protected by amniotic fluid * understand the roles of oestrogen and testosterone in the development of secondary sexual characteristics
