In some plants, water or wind help bring the sperm to the egg. Animals, like insects, bring the egg and the sperm together in other plants.
In some animals, meiosis occurs and there are 5 cycles that take place. Fertilization plays a very important role in sexual reproduction, for both plants andanimals.
Plants can be reproduced either sexually or asexually.
Sexual reproductionrefers to the swapping of genetic information between two parent plants in order to create a hybrid plant with a combination of genetically inherited "traits" from either or both of the parent plants.
In Angiosperms the process occurs in the flowers:
This normally occurs by transferring the male (haploid) pollen from the anther to the female parts of the plant (stigma), here the pollen grain germinates and grows (down the style) and finally fuses with the haploid female ovule (in the ovary); this results in a fertilized diploid embryo or zygote. A seed coat, the testa forms around each embryo, the ovary wall then becomes thickened; the ovary is in actual fact the "fruit" of the plant, at the wall becomes thickened, the "fruit begins to ripen" with the testa coated seeds inside of it. After ripening the fruit will be eaten, fall from the plant or distributed in another fashion, where finally the seeds will be removed from the fruit. If conditions are right the seed will germinate and form a new plant. Commercially many millions of seasonal, herbaceous plants and trees are produced each year from cultivated seed.
In Gymnospersms the process occurs the cones of the plant
Separate male and female cones are produced on the plant; the ovules (haploid) are not contained in an ovary buy lie "naked" on the scale of the female cone. Pollen (haploid) is produced in male cones. Generally the cones are produced at the tips of branches with the male cones being located in the upper portions of the tree (or plant) and the female cones on the lower portions. Large amounts of pollen are produced and pollination is mainly by wind (and air currents). Once fertilized the seed (diploid) becomes encapsulated by a woody testa within the female cone. Once the seeds are fully formed the cone either detaches from the plant or opens (scales) to release the seed away from the parent plant, or the cone is removed by animals looking for food and seeds distributed in this manner.
Asexual reproductionrefers to the propagation or reproduction of a plant without the exchange of genetic material; this means that all "daughter" plants have the same genetic makeup as the parent plant. This occurs naturally in some plant types, but is one of the main commercial methods or propagating plant materials. Examples of asexual reproduction include: division, various types of cuttings, air layering, offsets, plantlets as well as tissue/ in vitro culture.

Plant reproduce either by producing seeds or off shoots identical genetic copies of the parent plant. Animals require the male sperm to come in contact with the female egg. Mammals give birth to live young, while birds , fish, and amphibians lay eggs.
animal reproduction is when animals reproduce
Animals go full contact! Plants use pollen.
Reproduction in plants and animals differ in terms of how they produce sexually. Plants sexual reproduction is through pollination while animal reproduction is through mating.
animal and plasnt reproduction is similar because they have the same cells
Both reproduce sexually by fusion of gametes
It is an example of asexual reproduction. A bit of one plant is taken and then grown. The new plant is genetically identical to the original
Reproduction is the life process which ensures that a plant or animal species will not disappear from the earth
The part of a plant and/or animal cell that is pesponsible for reproduction is the centrioles.
layering...<3
In asexual reproduction of a plant, the plant reproduces offspring (normally referred to as daughter cell) in and of itself, without the the use of male and female gametes of the plants. There is no swapping or joining of gametes. Sexual reproduction uses the male and female gametes (both haploid), such as pollen from the male plant's stamen joining the ovule in the female plant's pistil - resulting in a diploid embryo.

Canola is a plant ,not a form of asexual reproduction .
The answer is reproduction.
The reproduction of a plant from a single plant, without the formation of haploid cells. (Many plants that use sexual reproduction contain both the male and female organs.)
During sexual reproduction in a flowering plant microspores produce four haploid microspores. This is what happens in the reproduction of angiosperms.
A plant's unit of reproduction, capable of developing into another such plant.
