Answer and Explanation:
Sexual reproduction is similar in both plants and animals because it involves the fertilization of a female gamete by a male gamete in both organisms. A gamete is a sex cell that contains half the genetic information as somatic cells, which are all of the other cells in the body. In a human, the female gamete is an ovum or egg, and the male gamete is the sperm. In a plant, the female gamete is an ovule, and the male gamete is pollen. Fertilization must occur in both plants and animals in order for reproduction to happen. In humans, this happens when a sperm reaches an egg, and they unite to become one, resulting in a single cell called a zygote. This process must also occur in plants, and pollen must reach the ovule inside the flower of a plant (in flowering plants) or in the cone of a non-flowering plant. This is called pollination and is accomplished when insects, birds or winds move the pollen from one plant to another. Though in some plants, self-pollination occurs. In humans, the zygote implants into the uterus of the mother and develops into an embryo and fetus. In plants, the zygote becomes a seed that once planted, will develop into a new plant.
