What Exactly Is Reproduction?
Born, grow, reproduce, die — the life cycle.
Every organism has a definite life span. Reproduction is how life on Earth continues to exist — a mango tree may die, but its seeds grow into new mango plants.
↳ Reproduction is the characteristic of living beings that ensures life continues beyond an individual's life span.
Why Sexual Reproduction Creates Variation
Mixing genes is nature's survival strategy.
In sexual reproduction, offspring inherit a mix of characteristics from two individuals. This mixing leads to small differences between parents and their young ones.
↳ Sexual reproduction's mixing of characteristics is the raw material for adaptation and the formation of new species over generations.
