This crash course video above really covers too much detail, particularly on the alternating stages of plants, which is well above the level of understanding you need for VCE biology.

However, the evolution of seeds and the use of pollinators are interesting examples of strategies used by organisms to increase their chances of survival through sexual reproduction.

The crash course video about non-vascular plants mentioned in the video can be found at:

We don't cover this material in VCE Biology, however, you may find it interesting.

Asexual vs Sexual Reproduction

Check your knowledge of the differences between asexual and sexual reproduction by completing the quiz at the learn genetics website: https://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/basics/reproduction/ 

You will be given information about different organisms and need to decide on the type of strategies used.

Cloning

Within laboratories around the world, scientists spend countless hours imitating natural processes for human gain. Although humans have been cloning plants for thousands of years, utilizing the natural asexual reproductive strategies of the plants themselves, cloning animals has been a relatively new development. Scientists have successfully cloned a range of mammals, including sheep, cattle, dogs and cats, however human reproductive cloning (production of new individuals) has been outlawed around the world. Most reproductive cloning of both plants and animals is carried out for agricultural purposes - the production of food. You can read about other uses for cloning in this Cloning Fact Sheet and article about Thylacine de-extinction.
