Reproduction is the biological process by which new individual organisms, known as "offspring," are produced from already existing individuals, known as "parents". There are two main forms of reproduction: sexual and asexual reproduction.
-
Sexual reproduction: In this type of reproduction, two parent organisms combine their genetic information to produce a genetically unique offspring.
-
Asexual reproduction: In this type of reproduction, one parent organism copies itself to form a genetically identical offspring.
Reproduction is a fundamental feature of all known life, and it is the main feature of life on earth. It enables and ensures the continuity of species, generation after generation. The process of reproduction is essential for the continued existence of species.
