Germination
This is the process of a seed beginning to develop into a new plant
Growth
The plant creates new cells to get larger and grow new organs
Flower production
The plant produces flowers which contain the male and female parts necessary for reproduction
Pollination
Pollen is delivered to the flower either by an insect, bird or wind
Seed dispersal
The plant spread their seed to avoid competition between each other

Why are insects attracted of wild flowers
highly scented and brightly colourful petals
What does the wind carry from one flower to another
pollen
Sexual reproduction
Requires two parents , animals and most plants to reproduce this way.
Asexual reproduction
Only requires one parent, the offspring are exact copies. Bacteria and other small organism reproduce this way and some plants
What happens in sexual reproduction
The genetic information of the male and female parent are combined to create a new unique organism.
Gametes
Gametes are the specialised sex cells required for sexual reproduction. They contain half the genetic information. For reproduction to occur a male and female gamete must combine. This process is called Fertilation
