Detailed explanation-1: -Baby plants are similar to their parents in a number of ways. They have similar features including leaf shape, color, and appearance. The plants will have the same parts as their offspring which are used for the same functions. Many baby plants are just miniature versions of their parents.

Detailed explanation-2: -The parent plants have male and female sex cells, called gametes. The genetic material from the male and female gametes combines to produce offspring. We call this process fertilization. The product of sexual reproduction are seeds.

Detailed explanation-3: -A seedling is a young plant or sporophyte developing out of a plant embryo from a seed. Seedling development starts with germination of the seed. A typical young seedling consists of three main parts: the radicle (embryonic root), the hypocotyl (embryonic shoot), and the cotyledons (seed leaves).

Detailed explanation-4: -A young plant grows in height and produces new leaves but no flowers till it is young. When the plant matures, i.e., becomes adult, it starts producing flowers. A plant has roots, stem, and needs air right from the beginning of life till the end.

Detailed explanation-5: -Explanation: Animal offspring are similar to their parents because they have many of the same or similar features. They may have the same coloring, eye colors, patterns, but just be a smaller version. They inherit their traits and appearance from their parents, so there is some resemblance.
