Which of the following are examples of sexual reproduction? A bacterium copies its DNA and divides into two daughter cells in a process called binary fission. A piece of a starfish is broken off and grows into a new starfish in a process called regeneration. A frog releases sperm over eggs that were laid by another frog, and these cells fuse together. A yeast offspring grows out of the body of its parent in a process called budding. A pollen grain from one flower fertilizes another flower, resulting in the development of a seed.

A frog releases sperm over eggs that were laid by another frog, and these cells fuse together.

A pollen grain from one flower fertilizes another flower, resulting in the development of a seed.

Explanation:

Sexual reproduction can be described as a method of reproduction in which haploid gametes from a male and a female parent unite to form a diploid zygote.

A frog fertilizing an egg present in water is an example of external fertilization. External fertilization means that the fertilization occurs outside the body of the female parent but it is a mode of sexual reproduction.

The pollen grains of a flower fertilizing the egg of another flower is also sexual reproduction.
