*Date: [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/17th_Century 1659]
==Definitions==
*1 : the [[act]] or [[process]] of reproducing; specifically : the process by which [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plants plants] and [[animals]] give rise to [[offspring]] and which [[fundamentally]] consists of the [[segregation]] of a portion of the [[parental]] [[body]] by a [[sexual]] or an asexual process and its subsequent [[growth]] and differentiation into a new [[individual]]
*2 : something reproduced : copy
*3 : young seedling trees in a forest
==Synonyms==
duplicate, copy, facsimile, replica mean a [[thing]] made to closely resemble another. reproduction implies an exact or close imitation of an existing thing <reproductions from the museum's furniture [[collection]]>. duplicate implies a double or counterpart exactly [[corresponding]] to another thing <a duplicate of a house key>. copy applies especially to one of a [[number]] of things reproduced [[mechanically]] <printed 1000 copies of the lithograph>. facsimile suggests a close reproduction often of graphic matter that may differ in [[scale]] <a facsimile of a rare [[book]]>. replica implies the exact reproduction of a particular item in all details <a replica of the Mayflower> but not always in the same scale <miniature replicas of classic cars>.
==Description==
'''Reproduction''' is the [[biological]] process by which new [[individual]] [[organisms]] are produced. Reproduction is a [[fundamental]] feature of all known life; each [[individual]] organism exists as the result of reproduction. The known [[methods]] of reproduction are broadly grouped into two main types: [[sexual]] and asexual.
In asexual reproduction, an [[individual]] can reproduce without involvement with another [[individual]] of that species. The division of a bacterial [[cell]] into two daughter cells is an example of asexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction is not, however, limited to single-celled [[organisms]]. Most [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plants plants] have the [[ability]] to reproduce asexually.
[[Sexual]] reproduction requires the involvement of two [[individuals]], typically one of each gender.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reproduction]
