Transcription: All living things eventually die. In order to prevent whole groups of organisms from dying out, living things must produce young that are like themselves. This process is called reproduction. In most species, two parents are needed to produce offspring, whereas in some species, only one parent is needed. During reproduction, the parents pass on information about how their offspring will look and develop. This information is carried and passed on through the chromosomes.
