Reproduction is one of the fundamental attributes of a living organism, through which it is able to produce more of its own kind. Through this process, new individuals are produced, that grow and reproduce again, thus increasing the population of a species. How do we ascertain whether two organisms belong to the same species or not? Consider the example of a common urban crow and a black jungle crow. You may think they belong to the same species because they resemble each other. Actually, however, they belong to two different species because they cannot interbreed.
A species is defined as a group of organisms (plants or animals) that can interbreed to produce fertile offspring. Compared to life processes like nutrition, respiration, etc., reproduction may appear to be a waste of energy as it is not essential for the survival of an individual. But it is an important function of a living being as it helps an organism to perpetuate its own kind.
Reproduction is essential for the:
Organisms produce similar offspring, but not exact copies of themselves. The offspring have similar body structures and similar genetic blueprints (DNA) in their cells. It is present in the nucleus of a cell in the form of a condensed structure called as chromosome.At the cellular level, reproduction involves first making a copy of its DNA and creating the cellular apparatus for the new cell. Then the nucleus divides and separates the two copies of DNA. Finally, the cytoplasm divides and separates the cellular apparatus. Thus, a cell divides to produce two new similar cells. DNA carries information for making proteins. Any change, or error, in the copying of the DNA sequence will change the structure of the protein formed. This altered protein may change the basic body design. If this protein happens to be an enzyme then the biochemical reaction it catalyzes will also be affected. Errors in the copying of DNA cause variation (change) in the offspring. Due to this tendency for variation, organisms do not create exact copies during reproduction.

It has a great methodology. Students here can get analysis to their test quickly.We can learn easily through PPTs and the testing methods are good. We know that where we have to practice
It was good as the experience because as we had come here we had been improved in a such envirnment created here.Extra is taught which is beneficial for future.
My experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
Being a parent, I saw my daughter improvement in her studies by seeing a good result in all day to day compititive exam TMO, NSO, IEO etc and as well as studies. I have got a fruitful result from my daughter.
A marvelous experience with Abhyas. I am glad to share that my ward has achieved more than enough at the Ambala ABHYAS centre. Years have passed on and more and more he has gained. May the centre flourish and develop day by day by the grace of God.
About Abhyas metholodology the teachers are very nice and hardworking toward students.The Centre Head Mrs Anu Sethi is also a brilliant teacher.Abhyas has taught me how to overcome problems and has always taken my doubts and suppoeted me.
Abhyas Methodology is very good. It is based on according to student and each child manages accordingly to its properly. Methodology has improved the abilities of students to shine them in future.
My experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.
My experience was very good with Abhyas academy. I am studying here from 6th class and I am satisfied by its results in my life. I improved a lot here ahead of school syllabus.
It was a good experience with Abhyas Academy. I even faced problems in starting but slowly and steadily overcomed. Especially reasoning classes helped me a lot.
