👉 Fecundity is a biological term that refers to the ability of an organism or species to reproduce and produce offspring. It involves the production of new individuals from the same parent cell, without the need for sexual reproduction. This process can occur in different ways, including sexual reproduction (where two parents mate) and gametogenesis (where eggs are fertilized by sperm). Fecundity is an important factor in determining reproductive success and can play a role in population dynamics and evolutionary history.
