Reproduction

Vedclass · Answer

(B) Living organisms exhibit several defining characteristics such as metabolism,cellular organization,and consciousness. $1$. Reproduction is not a defining feature because many living organisms like worker bees,mules,and infertile human couples do not reproduce. $2$. Locomotion is not a defining feature as many plants and sessile animals do not show locomotion. $3$. Death is a natural process for all living organisms,but it is not a unique characteristic that defines 'life' itself in the context of biological classification. However,among the given options,'Reproduction' is the most commonly cited example in $NCERT$ textbooks as a non-defining characteristic of living organisms because it is not present in all living beings.
