can u plz explain the defination of reproduction written in 1st line.
Dear student,
The definition of reproduction is production of new individuals by sexual or asexual process.
In the given picture, the first says, reproduction, likewise, is a characteristic of living organism, you must notice that the paragraph above it states that growth is characteristic of living organism.
So the given line simply means that reproduction, just like growth is also a characteristic of living organism. And if we read further the paragraph explains how. Characteristic is a trait or property by which an individual can be classified into groups or can be identified.
We can say if an individual reproduces it is living and if it does not reproduce its not,
We know many individuals that do not reproduce like sterile humans, so Reproduction is not a good characteristic for defining what's living.
Regards.
