Why is reproduction necessary for a species?
As they live the organisms comprising a species will age and die, they therefore need to reproduce (have babies) in order to replace the members of the species that die or the species will cease to exist (become extinct).
What happened after the first organism appeared on earth?
This topic is debated but here is the most likely cause: Those organisms reproduced and created more organisms. Over time the organisms changed (due to the Earth changing). The organisms reproduced with other organisms and created a new species. After millions of years, creatures like wolves and humans now exist. Hope I helped
What events occurred that allowed single celled organisms to evolve into more complex organisms at the end of the Precambrian time?
