VerifiedSexual reproduction in a plant is described as follows:
• The sperm and egg nucleus unite in the process known as pollination
• Pollen grains are carried to the stigma and produce a tube that grows downward to the ovary, or enlarged bottom part of the pistil
• The sperm nucleus travels down the tube and unites with egg cells in the ovary to eventually produce seeds
Asexual reproduction in a plant is described as follows:
• Parts of plants - such as leaves, stems, and roots - are used to produce new plants
• Examples include "cuttings" (containing a stem with leaves), bulbs (which have large, food-storing, underground stems), and plant pieces that contain buds or "eyes"
