Reproduction is essentially a phenomenon that is not for survival of an individual but for the stability of a species. Justify.

Ans.

Reproduction is the process of production of organisms of its kind and maintaining continuity generations after generations. Reproduction produces offspring which are some similarities and variations with parents due to genetic recombination occurring during gamete formation by crossing over and independent assortment and fertilization of male and female gametes. Such variation ensures they overcome struggles such as competition for natural resources, habitation, predation etc.

Therefore, reproduction not only restores the number of individuals removed from the species by above mentioned natural forces but also maintains the heredity of genetic characters and the introduction of variations, as needed for the continuity and stability of a species.
