Answer:
The original organism is called the <u><em>parent (ancestor)</em></u> , and new organisms are called the <u><em>offspring</em></u>.
Explanation:
Reproduction is one of the characteristics of life. Every living organism tends to give rise to another organism. The organism which gives rise to another organism is termed as the parent. The organism which is born is known as the offspring.
There are two basic methods of reproduction. An organism can give rise to another organism by the method of asexual or sexual reproduction.
During asexual reproduction, identical copies of the parent organism are made. During sexual reproduction, two organisms reproduce to produce non-identical offsprings.

Answer:
Heredity
Explanation:
the passing on of physical or mental characteristics genetically from one generation to another
Sporophyte generation - It is found in both seed and seedless plant. Dominant phase of the life cycle of the seedless plants is diploid sporophyte while in seed plant male and female gametes fuses to produces a diploid zygote which develops into a sporophyte.
Pollination - It occurs in seed plants only
Sporophyte contains male and female reproductive structures - It is found in both seed and seedless plant.
Single fertilization - It occurs in both seed and seedless plant
Sperm cells transported by water to egg cells - seedless plant only
