Living things reproduce and create ____
A
reproduce
B
traits
C
offspring
D
variations
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -All living organisms produce offspring in order to continue the existence of the species. This process of replicating or making copies of themselves is called ‘reproduction’. Reproduction is broadly divided into two categories, namely, sexual and asexual reproduction.

Detailed explanation-2: -Reproduction is the production of offspring. There are two main forms: sexual and asexual reproduction. In sexual reproduction, an organism combines the genetic information from each of its parents and is genetically unique. In asexual reproduction, one parent copies itself to form a genetically identical offspring.

Detailed explanation-3: -Reproduction (or procreation or breeding) is the biological process by which new individual organisms – “offspring” – are produced from their “parent” or parents.

Detailed explanation-4: -All living things are capable of reproduction. Reproduction is the process by which living things give rise to offspring. Reproduction may be as simple as a single ce ll dividing into two cells. This is how bacteria reproduce.

Detailed explanation-5: -Sexual reproduction involves two parents. As you can see from Figure below, in sexual reproduction, parents produce reproductive cells-called gametes-that unite to form an offspring.
