Introduction:

Reproduction is a characteristic of life. Reproduction is a biological process in which a living organism produces a new generation of their own kind. It passes genetic material, such as DNA, from one generation to the next generation. This genetic material determines the inherited traits of offspring or individuals. The basic characteristics of reproduction are DNA replication, cell division, reproductive body formation, and reproductive body development into offspring.
