Detailed explanation-1: -Examples are Xanthium and Urena. Some seeds are dispersed when the fruits burst with sudden jerks. The seeds are scattered far from the parent plant. This happens in the case of Castor and Balsam.

Detailed explanation-2: -Jamun, banyan, apple, coconut and neem are some of the plants that reproduce by means of seeds.

Detailed explanation-3: -To reproduce sexually, pollen from the male part is transferred to the female part by air or other flying animals, where fertilization occurs to form a seed. This seed will germinate and grow to become a new plant. There are two types of pollination namely: Self-Pollination – This fertilization is with the same flower.

Detailed explanation-4: -When a male gamete and a female gamete are involved in reproduction, this method is referred to as sexual reproduction. Here the male and female gametes fuse during fertilization to produce a single-celled zygote. The zygote subsequently develops into an embryo which further develops into a new individual.
