Answer: produces offspring
Explanation: Reproduction is one of the characteristics of living things. All living things reproduce, that is they produce young ones of their kind called offsprings. There are basically two types of reproduction, asexual and sexual reproduction.
Asexual reproduction is the type in which new offsprings are produced from a single individual without involving specialized sex cells called gametes while sexual reproduction is the type in which young ones are produced through the union of two specialized sex cells called gametes.
