Create offspring again

Reproduce means to create a copy or likeness of something: The printer can reproduce the image in high resolution.

In biology, to reproduce is to generate offspring—organisms reproduce sexually or asexually to perpetuate their species.

The word also means to recreate conditions or results: Scientists struggled to reproduce the findings.

A reproduction is a copy, often of artwork or furniture.
