• A. Reproduction is defined as a biological process in which an organism gives rise to young ones (offspring) identical to itself.
• B. When two parents (opposite sex) participate in the reproductive process, it is called sexual reproduction.
• C. Reproduction enables the continuity of the species, generation after generation.
• D. None of the above.

Answer 1

The correct option is D None of the above.

Reproduction is defined as a biological process in which an organism gives rise to young ones (offspring). These offspring then grow, mature and perform reproduction to produce new offspring. Reproduction enables the continuity of the species, generation after generation.
Reproduction can be further classified into asexual and sexual reproduction. The type of reproduction which involves a single parent producing an offspring is called asexual reproduction. The offspring produced in asexual reproduction is identical to the parent. If the type of reproduction involves fusion of male and female gametes, it is called sexual reproduction. This type of reproduction involves two parents of opposite gender.
