MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -This process of replicating or making copies of themselves is called ‘reproduction’. Reproduction is broadly divided into two categories, namely, sexual and asexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction is the one in which two parents contribute two gametes and the union of these gives an offspring.

Detailed explanation-2: -Reproduction is defined as a biological process in which an organism gives rise to young ones (offspring) similar to itself. The offspring grow, mature and in turn produce new offspring. Thus, there is a cycle of birth, growth and death. Reproduction enables the continuity of the species, generation after generation.
