Context:
16.1 - Asexual reproduction: A process resulting in the production of genetically identical offspring from one parent.
16.2 - Sexual reproduction: A process involving the fusion of the nuclei of two gametes to form a zygote and the production of offspring that are genetically different from each other.
16.3 - Sexual reproduction in plants: Pollination, fertilisation and the structures of insect pollinated and wind-pollinated flowers, including petals, sepals, stamens, filaments, anthers, carpels, style, stigma, ovary and ovules.
16.4 - Sexual reproduction in humans: Structure and function of the male and female reproductive systems, the adaptive features of sperm and egg cells and the functions of the umbilical cord, placenta, amniotic sac and amniotic fluid in the development of the fetus.
16.5 - Sexual hormones in humans: The roles of testosterone and oestrogen during puberty, the changes that occur in the ovaries and to the lining of the uterus during the menstrual cycle and the roles of FSH, LH, progesterone and oestrogen in controlling the menstrual cycle and pregnancy.
