Detailed explanation-1: -Propagation or multiplication of plants by seeds is known as ‘sexual propagation’. Seeds are formed as a result of successful fertilisation and combination of parental gametes.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are two general types of propagation: sexual and asexual. Sexual propagation is the reproduction of plants by seeds. The genetic material of two parents is combined by pollination and fertilization to create offspring that are different from each parent.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sexual propagation is propagation by seed or spores. The plants will become fertilized and produce the seed that will grow into a new with both of the characteristics of the parent plants. Because of the traits given by the parent plants, sexual propagation offers these advantages: 1.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sexual propagation (also known as seed propagation) occurs when pollen from male anthers fertilizes an egg from a female ovule to produce a seed. The genes from the two parents combine to create a unique third individual plant which inherits certain characteristics of each of the parents but is different from both.

Detailed explanation-5: -Sexual propagation uses seeds to produce new plants. Sexual propagation is relatively easy and often requires no special equipment. It is nature’s way to obtain many plants economically. Seeds are formed when pollen is transferred from the anther of a flower to the stigma of a flower and fertilization occurs.
