Question

What is meant by Reproduction?

Answer 1

Reproduction:

1. Reproduction is defined as a biological process in which an organism gives rise to young ones (offspring) similar to itself.
2. Reproduction ensures the species' survival from generation to generation.
3. There are two types of reproduction - asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction.
4. When offspring is produced by a single parent with or without the involvement of gamete formation, the reproduction is asexual.
5. When two parents (opposite sex) participate in the reproductive process and also involve the fusion of male and female gametes, it is called sexual reproduction.
