1)what is the difference between reproduction and breeding?
2)do plants undergo sexual reproduction?if so,could you please give some examples.
 

1) Reproduction is a universal feature of each living organism. It is the natural biological process during which the 'parents' procreate to form the 'offspring'. It is done mainly to maintain the continuity of the species. Breeding, on the other hand, is often an artificial process during which certain traits of the animals or plants (often ones which are beneficial to human beings)are kept in mind. For example, different varieties of cows are bred which give us more quantity of milk. 
2) Yes, plants do undergo sexual reproduction. In a flowering plant or angiosperm, the flower is the reproductive organ of the plant. The flower is made up of four whorls namely calyx, corolla, androecium, and gynoecium. Androcium is the male whorl where the male gametes called pollen grains are formed. Gynoecium is the female whorl where the female gamete or the ovule is formed. The pollen grains are transferred from the anther to the stigma during the process of pollination. This eventually results in the fusion of the male and female gametes during fertilization. This results in the formation of zygote which grows to form the embryo present in the seed. The seed germinates to form the new plant.
