💧 Reproduction in Animals and Plants
From pollination to seed dispersal, and how a new human life begins — discover how living things reproduce and pass on their traits.
What you'll learn
- The cell is the basic unit of life, and cells play a key role in reproduction
- Living things reproduce to keep their species going and pass traits to the next generation
- In humans, a sperm and an egg join at fertilisation, and the baby develops in the womb
- Flowering plants reproduce in four steps: pollination, fertilisation, seed dispersal, germination
- Seeds travel by wind, water, animals or explosive action
- Sexual reproduction in flowering plants and in humans is surprisingly similar
