Reproduction is one of the most important biological processes by which living organisms give rise to offspring that inherit their genetic information.
- In sexually reproducing organisms, it involves the fusion of gametes (reproductive cells) from two different individuals, resulting in genetically diverse offspring.
- In asexual reproduction, a single organism produces offspring genetically identical to itself. Reproduction is a fundamental aspect of life that ensures the continuation of a species and the passing on of traits to future generations.
