Question

How does reproduction help in providing stability?

Answer 1

Reproduction:

1. Reproduction is a biological process.
2. Through this process, new individuals of the same species are produced by parents.
3. It helps in providing stability in the ecosystem by producing new individuals
4. This maintains a balance between the birth rate and death rate.
5. It replaces the older population with the new population and thus maintains a balance.
6. Hence it ensures the survival of the species.
7. Reproduction helps in creating variations among genomes and populations.
8. It thus maintains a balance in the universe.
9. It is the only means to enhance the continuity of species.
10. Different populations occupy well-defined places in their ecosystem with their ability to reproduce.
11. DNA replication is responsible for the variations among organisms
12. It allows an organism to survive in a particular niche.
13. Genetic variations are also the result of gene mutations and gene flow.
