For me reproduction is......

the form that organisms use to live their or its life.

When humans reproduce sex cells that are called gametes join, the male sex cell is called sperm, and female sex cell is called egg,ova or ovule.

When they join they form the "New life", the fetus is inside the woman until it is time to be born, the women wait more or less 9 months till the baby is born, in that time baby grow and change.

then the baby is born and a new life cycle starts again.

for animals is almost the same, the male and the female mate and they had a baby and the life cycle starts again.

Reproduction can be represented with a plant, the plant is born, then the plant grows, and then it dies, plants dont have "SEXUAL REPRODUCTION"  but they have "ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION", they have both cells so they can have babys with out sex.
