When living things reproduce they create offspring.

Living things create offspring when they reproduce.

A parent plant is a plant that has reproduced and created offspring.

Asexual reproduction involves one parent and produces offspring that has the same characteristics as the parent.

Clones are offspring that have been created asexually and have identical characteristics to their parent.

Plant reproduction from cuttings

In this Reproduction and life cycles: plants unit, pupils learn to describe the life process of reproduction in some plants. In the Evolution and inheritance unit, they will build on this knowledge to learn that living things produce offspring of the same kind, but normally offspring vary and are not identical to their parents

In the What plants do and what they need unit, pupils learnt to explore the part that flowers play in the life cycle of flowering plants. In this Reproduction and life cycles: plants unit, pupils will build on this knowledge to describe the life processes of reproduction in some plants

his unit explores the life process of reproduction in plants and animals. It focuses on planning scientific enquiries, measuring with precision, recording complex data, and using test results to make predictions. Emphasis is on presenting findings, and evaluating scientific evidence.

Reproduction and life cycles: plants

Plants can only reproduce by pollination and fertilisation.

Plants cannot reproduce without help from animals.

Reproduction that produces only one offspring.

Reproduction that creates many offspring.

Reproduction that involves two parent plants.

Which of these is not an example of asexual reproduction in plants?

Offspring that are produced asexually from a single parent plant are called {{}}, which means they are identical to their parent plant.

Some plants can reproduce asexually using tubers or bulbs. Whereabouts on plants are tubers and bulbs found?

Growing special food stores under the ground that can grow their own new plants.

Growing long, horizontal stems that can take root and grow new plants.

Forming seeds inside an ovary following fertilisation.

Some plants can reproduce asexually using runners. What does this mean?

What does it mean to be identical to something?

They make more living things of the same type.

They live in habitats that they are suited to.

All living things can reproduce. What does this mean?

the young they create through reproduction

The {{}} is the part of the plant that allows it to reproduce by making seeds.

when pollen is made by the male anthers of a flower

when pollen is transferred from a male part of a flower to a female part

when animals eat pollen from the female part of the flower and make honey

Before flowers can make seeds, they must be pollinated. What is pollination?

A flower is pollinated by animals or the wind.

The flower is fertilised when pollen moves to its ovary.

Starting with the one that happens first, put the steps of flowering plant reproduction into the correct order.
