Solution

Reproduction:

The life process that involves producing offspring is called reproduction. In most sexually reproducing organisms, females give birth to the young ones, and males provide gametes.

A woman attains her reproductive abilities after menarche and stops going through the menstrual cycle after menopause.

  1. Menarche: The first menstruation in girls at age 11 to 15 is called menarche. It is a sign of puberty and indicates sexual maturity.
  2. Menopause: The end of the woman's menstrual period at age 40 to 50 is called menopause. It indicated the sign of aging and the end of reproduction.

Thus, a woman is reproductively inactive before menarche and after menopause.
