What are inheritance and reproduction? What do a mouse and a mighty oak tree have in common? They are both living things, that are born, grow, and later die. While they arematureor grownup, they produce young, so that when they die, theirspeciescontinues. Reproductionis the amazing process by which living things produce young. It happens in many different ways. Without reproduction there would be no life on Earth!

New life is starting all the time. As you read this, baby birds are hatching from eggs. Human babies are being born. Young plants are sprouting from seeds.

Young animals look like their parents because of genes. That’s why this young koala has a black nose and round ears, like its mother.
