CH:How do organism reproduce:
Reproduction may be asexual or sexual.Asexual
reproduction involves one parents and sexual
reproduction involves two parents.
Vegetative reproduction is a type of asexual reproduction
and has great application in agriculture,tissue culture,etc.
Tissue culture is the technique growing whole plants from
a few cells or even a single cell.
Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of male and
female gametes to form a Zygote.
In plants,fertilization is followed by seed and fruit
formation.The seed contains the embryo that is to develop
into a new plant.
In higher animals such as human beings the male and
female individuals attain sexual maturity during a period
called puberty.
The human female goes through the process of menstrual
cycle, i.e.the release of the ovum from the ovary.
The basic features of growth and development are similar
in plants and animals and are controlled by hormones.
