WHAT IS SEXUAL PROPAGATION?
•Apropagation using valuable seeds. These seeds have the
capacity to germinate and grow.
• The union of the pollen and egg, drawing from the genes of two
parents to create a new, third individual. Sexual propagation
involves the floral parts of a plant.
• Sexual Propagation is relatively easy and often requires no
special equipment.
• It is nature’s way to obtain many plants economically
SEXUAL PROPAGATION
• Seed formation is an example of sexual
propagation.
Get genetic diversity from this form.
Where you have a male and a female and have cross
pollination for fertilization between two to form the
seed.
• Meiosis- another form of sexual propagation.
SEXUAL PROPAGATION

• Always involves flowers except on

gymnosperms (pine trees) ferns and
mosses.
•Sexual Propagation always results in a
seed.
ADVANTAGES OF SEXUAL PROPAGATION
1.Fast way to get many plants.
2.Easy to do.
3.Economical.
DISADVANTAGES OF SEXUAL PROPAGATION
1.Some plants, especially hybrids, do not
reproduce, true to parents.
2.Some plants are difficult to propagate
from seeds.
