Reproduction

Disk

Sound reproduction involves replaying a sound wave that was recorded in some type of medium.

Reproduction is a notion that refers to the process and consequence of reproducing . This verb , for its part, refers to producing something again , to making a copy or, in the case of living beings, to giving birth or generating another organism with the same biological characteristics.

For example: "Please note that the reproduction of this text on any medium is prohibited" , "This sculpture is, in reality, a reproduction of the monument found in Paris" , "Rabbits are animals with a great capacity for reproduction." » .

Sound playback

The act of making a sound wave recorded in some physical or digital medium sound again is known as sound reproduction .

Playing a compact disc, in this sense, consists of broadcasting the songs recorded on its surface through a loudspeaker.

insects

Sexual reproduction allows the generation of offspring.

Generation of a descendant

Sexual reproduction , for its part, consists of the generation of a descendant by combining the genes of two beings that belong to the same species. For this reproduction to be possible, a sexual relationship that allows fertilization is required.

In the case of humans , sexual reproduction begins when a sperm fertilizes an egg. For nine months, pregnancy develops in the woman's womb until the moment of delivery arrives.

Assisted reproduction , on the other hand, is the application of scientific techniques and knowledge to replace or facilitate the natural reproductive process. In this way, reproduction can even be achieved without there being a sexual relationship between a man and a woman.

asexual reproduction

At the other extreme is asexual reproduction , which takes place when an adult living being causes the detachment of parts of its organism or a cell , so that a process of mitosis is then carried out from which a new individual emerges. with all the characteristics of the first.

One of the most apparent differences between sexual and asexual reproduction is that in the latter the intervention of two individuals is not necessary, nor of the nuclei of the gametes (the sexual cells of multicellular organisms).

The notion in computing

In the field of computer programming and software development, one of the most important departments within a company is testing , an Anglicism that derives from the term testing , which describes the testing process of a product in which They look for potential errors so that there is the possibility of correcting them before commercial launch.

The term reproduction also has a very important role within the process of testing a computer program (a group within which we can include, broadly speaking, computer or mobile device applications, as well as video games for various platforms), since it refers to to the possibility of intentionally causing a certain error so that programmers can more easily find its origin.

Throughout the communication that takes place between the programming and testing departments within a software development company, the former asks the latter to include the steps for reproducing each error whenever possible.

Suppose that a tester (the person who works looking for these errors) informs a programmer that the main character of the game they are developing loses the ability to jump from one moment to the next; So that the correction of this failure takes as little time as possible, please attach the series of steps that you have identified to make it happen, which may include the scenario you were in, the last actions you had executed and your energy level, for example. example.
