Define reproduction.
The formal definition of reproduction is the process of producing again. In science, reproduction is when a male's sperm fertilizes a female's egg to make a baby. Two haploid cells join together to make a zygote. The nuclei of both cells fuse and join both of the parents' genetic information. This creates genetic diversity. The baby's traits depend on both parents. There could be many possibilities because there could be many genes that affect one trait. In a gene, there is a dominant and recessive allele. Usually, a Punnett square is used to predict the outcome of the trait in the baby.
