Q.4: Answer the following:

(1) Read the given paragraph and answer the questions given below
Reproduction is the process by which the living species continues its existence.
Lower organisms carry out asexual reproduction while higher asexually by
methods such as fragmentation, vegetative prop plants and animals always
show sexual reproduction. Plants reproduce asexually by methods such as
fragmentation, vegetative propagation budding, spore formation. For sexual
reproduction they form gametes. In animal kingdom, budding, fission of
different types and parthenogenesis are some of the methods that do not require
both the sexes. Though regeneration also forms new individual, it is not
considered to be a reproductive process because, basically it is a repair process.
The ability to regenerate is lost in higher phyla. In human beings it is restricted
only to wound healing. Sexual reproduction is also undergoing lots of
experimentation such as cloning which may make females capable of
producing their own baby without intervention of any male.
Questions:
(a) Flow do living species continue their existence?

With increase of carbon, methane, or other greenhouse gas levels in the
atmosphere, our local weather and global climate is further agitated,
heated, and "boiled". The greenhouse gases such as water vapour, carbon
dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and ozone are causing great impact on
life on earth. Due to global warming, the glaciers are melting, causing
sea level rise, coastal submergence and frequent natural disasters. We
have to rethink while taking the development projects and help to protect
the existing life forms on the earth before it is too late because climate
change can exterminate us.
