How does reproduction help in providing stability to populations of species?
Organisms survive only to reproduce. Reproduction is very important for the stability to populations of species by extending their genernation or the population of same species from the existing generation. It also helps in the study of evolution by recording the data of their ancestors to the new generation of same species.
