Question

Which of the following options best defines Reproduction?

• A. Production of new individuals of the same species from parents.
• B. Production of new individuals of the different species from parents.
• C. Production of new individuals of the different species from two parents.
• D. Production of new individuals of the different species from one parent.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Production of new individuals of the same species from parents.

Reproduction is the production of new individuals (or offspring/ children) from parents. The new individuals are of the same species. Reproduction is possible from a single parent or from two parents depending on the organism. Hence, the general definition of reproduction does not require the number of parents involved.
