Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sexual Propagation. Sexual propagation involves the union of the pollen (male) with the egg (female) to produce a seed. The seed is made up of three parts: the outer seed coat, which protects the seed; the endosperm, which is a food reserve; and the embryo, which is the young plant itself.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -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. There are several advantages of sexual propagation: It may be quicker and more economical than asexual propagation.

Detailed explanation-4: -The first type, known as sexual propagation, is used for asparagus, bean, broccoli, cabbage, carrot, cauliflower, celery, cucumber, eggplant, leek, lettuce, lima bean, okra, onion, muskmelon, parsley, pea, pepper, pumpkin, radish, spinach, sweet corn (maize), squash, tomato, turnip, and watermelon.

Detailed explanation-5: -Sexual propagation involves the floral parts of a plant. Asexual propagation involves taking a part of one parent plant and causing it to regenerate itself into a new plant. Genetically it is identical to its one parent. Asexual propagation involves the vegetative parts of a plant: stems, roots, or leaves.
