Question

How does reproduction help in providing stability to population of a species?

Answer 1

Reproduction is the process of producing new individuals of the same species by existing organisms of a species, so, it helps in providing stability to population of species by giving birth to new individuals as the rate of birth must be at par with the rate of death to provide stability to population of a species. Reproduction is the only means to ensure the continuity of a species. By reproduction, organisms produce large number of new individuals out of which several get perished and only some survive. These surviving organisms replace the naturally dying members of the population. Hence the population as a whole is not affected and remains stable.
