Why is reproduction an important characteristic of life

Reproduction helps maintain life and carry genes to the next generation.

Explanation: It is part of an organisms survival mechanism that maintains life. Any set of organisms that does not reproduce will be wiped out from the planet and become extinct.

Reproduction occurs sexually and asexually. Sexual reproduction requires the mating of two organisms opposing in gender. It produces unique individuals contributing to biodiversity. Asexual reproduction is when an organism divides by itself producing exact copies of daughter cells, such that the new produced organism will not be different from original one.

increase soil erosion                                             reduce soil erosion

cattle grazing                                                         hydroseeding

deforestation                                                         contour plowing

                                                                                planting vegetation

plant roots basically hold the top soil

together and stop soil erosion because

in such situation top soil is not removed

during flood but cattle grazing causes

soil erosion because cattle consume the

grasses and herbs and top soil is exposed.

same situation occurs because of

deforestation, the trees and plants are cut

down to expose top soil which causes soil

erosion
