How does reproduction help in providing stability to populations of species?
Share
Living organisms reproduce for the continuation of a particular species. It helps in
providing stability to the population of species by producing a new individual that
resembles the parents. This is the reason why cats give birth to only cats or dogs give
birth to only dogs. Therefore, reproduction provides stability to populations of dogs or cats
or any other species.

Reproduction is the process of producing new individuals of the same species by existing organisms of a species, so, it helps in providing stability to population of species by giving birth to new individuals as the rate of birth must be at par with the rate of death to provide stability to population of a species.
Reproduction results in production of more organisms of a type. This helps in perpetuation of species. Since there is copying of DNA involved, which may result in variation. Thus, reproduction provides stability as variation helps in better adaptability of a species.
