Reproduction is how organisms produce offspring. The ability to reproduce is a characteristic of all living things. In some species, all the offspring are genetically identical to the parent. In other species, each offspring is genetically unique. Look at the kittens in Figure below . They are brothers and sisters, but they are all different from each other. Why does this happen in some species but not others? Its because there are two types of reproduction. Reproduction can be sexual or asexual.
