Gamete

 A gamete is either a male or female sex cell.  These are produced in their respective sex organs.  A female only produces these cells once, but a male continues making these cells forever.

Fertilization

 Fertilization is the fusion of male and female gametes.  This happens through sex (and pollination)  When this happens a baby is made (or a seed)

Zygote

 A zygote is the diploid cell formed when a sperm fertilizes an egg.  The term literally means joined or yoked.  This only happens in sexual reproduction

Pollination

 Pollination occurs when the male reproductive organs in a plant transfer pollen to the female reproductive organ in a different plant (usually in the same species)  This is usually done through bees and butterfly's  This enables the plant to be fertilized
