- Growth of an organism from juvenile to adult
- Biological process of formation of new life from pre-existing similar life
- Daily metabolic activity needed for survival
- Repair or regrowth of lost body parts
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: B. Biological process of formation of new life from pre-existing similar life
Reproduction is the biological process of forming new life forms from pre-existing similar life — it ensures continuity of species.
Repair/regrowth is regeneration (distinct from reproduction).
