The completed comparison table distinguishing Asexual reproduction and Sexual reproduction is given below:

Growth of follicles present in the ovary occurs under the effect of follicle stimulating hormone. This follicle secretes estrogen. Ovarian follicle along with oocyte grows/regenerates under the effect of estrogen. Under the effect of Luteinizing hormone, fully grown up follicle bursts, ovulation occurs and corpus luteum is formed from remaining part of follicle. It secretes estrogen and progesterone. Under the effect of these hormones, glands of endometrium of uterus are activated and it becomes ready for implantation.

1. Sexual reproduction involves the union of two haploid gametes: the sperm from the father (23 chromosomes) and the ovum from the mother (23 chromosomes).
2. During fertilization, these gametes unite to form a diploid zygote with 46 chromosomes (23 pairs), receiving exactly 50% of its genetic material (DNA) from the father and 50% from the mother.
3. Because the newborn inherits the genes of both parents, it displays clear physical and biological similarities to both.
4. Examples: A child may inherit eye colour, facial features, or hair type from the mother, while inheriting height, ear lobe shape, or blood group from the father.
5. At the same time, crossing over during meiosis creates unique gene combinations, so the child is similar to both parents but never an exact carbon copy.

The statement is TRUE.

Scientific Explanation:

1. Humans have 23 pairs (46 chromosomes) in their diploid cells. Out of these, 22 pairs are autosomes and 1 pair consists of sex chromosomes.
2. Human females are homogametic: they have sex chromosomes XX (44 + XX). All ova produced by a female contain only the X chromosome (22 + X).
3. Human males are heterogametic: they have sex chromosomes XY (44 + XY). During meiosis, males produce two distinct types of sperms in equal numbers (50% each):
   • 50% sperms carry an X chromosome (22 + X).
   • 50% sperms carry a Y chromosome (22 + Y).
4. If an X-bearing sperm fertilizes the ovum (22+X + 22+X = 44+XX), the baby is a girl.
5. If a Y-bearing sperm fertilizes the ovum (22+Y + 22+X = 44+XY), the baby is a boy.
6. Since the mother contributes only X chromosomes, the sex of the child is entirely determined by whether the father's fertilizing sperm carries an X or a Y chromosome. Holding women responsible for giving birth to a girl child is scientifically baseless and wrong.

Asexual reproduction in plants occurs primarily through Vegetative Propagation, where new plants develop directly from vegetative parts like stems, roots, leaves, or buds without seeds or gametes:

1. By Stem Tubers: Potatoes have 'eyes' which are vegetative buds. When planted in soil, each eye germinates into a new potato plant.
2. By Stems and Nodes: Plants like sugarcane and grasses reproduce vegetatively from buds present at their stem nodes.
3. By Leaves: In Bryophyllum, vegetative buds develop along the notches of leaf margins. When these leaves fall on moist soil, the buds develop roots and grow into independent plants.
4. By Roots: Sweet potato, carrot, and radish use swollen tuberous roots to produce new plantlets.

Infertility affects many couples due to physical, hormonal, or anatomical conditions. Modern reproductive technologies provide safe, medical solutions to have children:

1. In Vitro Fertilization (IVF): Used when there are issues like low sperm count or blocked fallopian tubes. Oocytes from the woman are fertilized by husband's sperms in a test-tube dish, and the resulting embryo is implanted into the uterus.
2. Surrogacy: If a woman has a medical condition preventing her uterus from carrying a pregnancy, ovum from the biological mother and sperm from the father are fertilized via IVF. The embryo is then implanted into the womb of another healthy woman (surrogate mother) who carries the child to birth.
3. Sperm Bank (Semen Bank): When the male partner has azoospermia (zero sperm count) or genetic disorders, semen is obtained from certified, medically screened donors and preserved in liquid nitrogen. The donor sperm is used to fertilize the female partner's ovum through artificial insemination or IVF, with full legal confidentiality.

The flower is the reproductive organ of angiosperm plants. Sexual reproduction in plants involves pollination followed by double fertilization:

1. Pollination: Pollen grains from the anther of the stamen are transferred to the sticky surface of the stigma by wind, water, insects, or birds.
2. Pollen Germination: On the stigma, the pollen grain absorbs moisture and germinates, producing a long pollen tube that grows down through the style into the ovary.
3. Entry of Male Gametes: The generative cell inside the pollen tube divides into two haploid male gametes. The pollen tube enters the ovule through the micropyle and bursts, releasing the two male gametes into the embryo sac.
4. Syngamy (First Fertilization): One male gamete (n) fuses with the haploid egg cell (n) to form a diploid zygote (2n), which develops into the future plant embryo.
5. Triple Fusion (Second Fertilization): The second male gamete (n) fuses with the two haploid polar nuclei (2n) in the center of the embryo sac to form a triploid Primary Endosperm Nucleus (3n), which develops into nutritive endosperm for the growing seed.
6. Because fertilization occurs twice within the same embryo sac, this process is called Double Fertilization. After fertilization, the ovule becomes a seed, and the ovary ripens into a fruit.
