Reproduction is a fundamental characteristic of living organisms, allowing them to produce offspring of their own kind, which is essential for the continuity of species. There are two main types of reproduction: asexual, resulting in identical offspring, and sexual, which introduces variations through the combination of genetic material from two parents. The document also discusses the significance of DNA replication in introducing variations necessary for adaptation and evolution.

living organisms. In simple terms, reproduction means
thatthe living organisms produce young ones of their own kind.

produce. The continuity of life on earth, from its origin to
the present day, has been possible only because of reproduction.
Reproduction introduces variations in the organisms, which are
sential for adaptations and evolution.
