| Self Duplication and Survival |
|
| |
| Living organisms do not survive indefinitely. Every organism dies after attaining a certain age or due to predation, disease, accident or other factors. |
| |
| The reduction in the number of individuals of a population as a result of death, is restored by the addition of new individuals by a process called reproduction. |
| |
| Reproduction is the property of living organisms to produce more of their own kind. |
| |
| Reproduction is meant for perpetuation of species. |
| |
| All information needed for reproduction, is contained in a group of biological molecules called deoxyribose nucleic acid (DNA). |
| |
| This information is passed on from one generation to another by reproduction. |
| |
| At the cellular level the process involves self-duplication (or replication) of the DNA molecule. |
