Reproduction
Reproduction is the process by which new individuals are produced by the parents. The process of reproduction ensures that a plant or animal species does not disappear from Earth. This process is very important in maintaining stability in the ecosystem and for the continuation of life on earth. Had there been no reproduction, all the species would have become extinct.

1) Reproduction maintains a balance between the birth rate and death rate.The new individuals replace the old and the dying population.It also helps in increasing the number of species in the ecosystem.
2) The genes are transmitted from the parents to the offspring.This leads to the evolution of species.
3) Variations in species and their ability to survive in different environments is the result of reproduction.
