Sexual reproduction involves two parents fusing gametes to produce offspring that differ from the parents, allowing for variation. Asexual reproduction involves one parent and identical offspring through budding, stolons, or runners. Plants reproduce sexually through flowers containing male stamens and female carpels. Pollination transfers pollen grains which fertilize ovules in the carpel, forming seeds within fruits. Seeds then disperse through wind, hooks, or animal consumption to germinate away from the parent plant.
