Ans.

Reproduction is the process of production of organisms of its own kind and maintaining continuity generations after generations. Reproduction produces offspring's which are with some similarities and variations with parents due to genetic recombination occurred during gamete formation by crossing over and independent assortment and fertilization of male and female gametes. Such variation ensures them to 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 maintain heredity of genetic characters and introduction of variations, as needed for continuity and stability of a species.
