Answer 1

Reproduction may be defined as a phenomenon by which organisms produce progeny of their own kind.

Explanation:

Reproduction is the biological process by which organisms give rise to offspring or progeny of the same kind, ensuring the continuity of the species. It is not about increasing size, forming new tissues, or being produced from a single fertilized egg specifically. Instead, reproduction specifically refers to the generation of new individuals similar to the parent organism.
