प्रश्न
Reproduction is essentially a phenomenon that is not for survival of an individual but for the stability of a species. Justify.
उत्तर
Organisms need energy for their growth and survival. They obtain the required energy from life processes such as nutrition and respiration. Reproduction is a process through which living organisms produce new organisms of their own kind. Thus, this process requires lots of energy rather than providing energy. So, reproduction is not essential for survival.
Also, during reproduction, genetic material is transferred from one generation to another through DNA copying. DNA is copied with high constancy and considerable variations and these variations help the species to adjust and survive in the constantly changing environment. Thus, reproduction is essential for the stability of the species.
