the need for the opposite gender.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Reproduction ensures that living organisms are maintained so that as older ones die, new offsprings are produced to replace them. Reproduction in living organisms happens in two interesting ways: Sexual and Asexual Reproduction. In both ways, new offsprings are made although the processes are distinctively different. Offspring in biology is the young organism produced by its parent organism. An offspring can be a product of sexual reproduction or asexual reproduction.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">How do living things reproduce?
