Reproduction does not help a species to survive, it allows for a species to survive by replacing the ageing population. Without reproduction a species would cease to exist within 1 generation.

By reproducing, the species adds to it's population, which helps the species to survive for a longer period of time, because they will not be killed off as easy and will not go extinct:)

Why is reproduction important for sustaining life?

In order for survival of species and its continuity. For example, you would not know there were a species like humans if there were only two humans and if they weren't capable of reproduction. Only because organisms reproduce, you come to know of their existence and their species thus survive.

How does the fact that when a bacterium reproduces the offspring are exact copies of the parent bacterium affect under what conditions would this stadegy would help a species continue in the future?

The reason that bacteria have been able to survive so long is that the asexual reproduction that they use allows for very little mutation, so as long as the environment stays the same, the bacteria will thrive. When mutation, or evolution does occur, because of the asexual reproduction the mutations are much more extreme and fast (because there is no recombination fo the DNA as in sexual reproduction). So the species will be able to survive in the new environment, thus the bacteria are able to survive.

How does variation ensure that a species to survive?

Creation of variation occurs in a species and help in the survival to species as the most suitable or favorable character pass next generation and under unfavorable condition only the most fit organism survive and help in continuation of the species.
