Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Although most plants have flowers with both male and female sex organs, there are several thousands of plant species where male or female flowers form on different individuals. Surprisingly, the presence of well-established sex chromosomes in these dioecious plants is rare.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of male and female gametes. In vegetative propagation new plants are produced from different vegetative parts such as leaves, stems and roots. Flower is the reproductive part of a plant.
Detailed explanation-4: -Asexual reproduction in plants occurs in two fundamental forms, vegetative reproduction and agamospermy. Vegetative reproduction involves a vegetative piece of the original plant producing new individuals by budding, tillering, etc.
Detailed explanation-5: -Many plants reproduce asexually as well as sexually. In asexual reproduction, part of the parent plant is used to generate a new plant. Grafting, layering, and micropropagation are some methods used for artificial asexual reproduction.
