Introduction to Reproduction

What is reproduction?

• Reproduction is the biological process by which organisms produce offspring to ensure the continuation of their species.

Importance of reproduction in organisms:

1. Continuation of Species: It prevents the extinction of species by producing new individuals.

2. Transfer of Genetic Material: It ensures the transfer of genetic traits from one generation to the next.

3. Population Growth: It helps maintain and increase the population of species.

4. Evolution and Adaptation: Variations arising during reproduction contribute to evolution and adaptation in changing environments.
