1) " Reproduction" -- As it applies to Reproduction Prints Reproduction is the creation of one thing as a copy of, product of, or replacement for a similar thing, e.g. photocopying and the making of replicas. It is perhaps most commonly used in the context of biological Reproductkon and sex : Sexual Reproductkon is a biological process by which organisms create descendants through the combination of geneticmaterial. These organisms have two different adult sexes, male and female.Asexual Reproductipn is a biological process by which an organism creates a genetically similar copy of itself withoutthe combination of genetic material with another individual. For example, the Hydra ( invertebrates of the order Hydroidea ) and yeast are able to reproduce by budding. These organisms do not have different sexes, and they are capable of "splitting"themselves into two or more parts and regrow their body parts. Some 'asexual' species, like hydra and jellyfish, may also sexually reproduce. Most plants arecapable of vegetative Reprocuction . Other ways ofasexual Roproduction are binary fission, fragmentation and spore formation. There are a wide range of reproductive strategies employed by different species. Some animals, like the human (sexually mature after adolescence ) and Northern Gannet (5-6 years),produce few offspring. Others reproduce quickly, but unless raised in an artificial environment, most offspring do not survive to adults. A rabbit (mature after 8 months)produces 10 - 30 offspring per year, a Nile Crocodile (15 years)produces 50, and a fruit fly (10-14 days) produces up to 900. Both strategies canbe favoured by evolution : animals with few offspring can spend time nurturing andprotecting them, hence greatly decreasing the need to reproduce; on the other hand, animals with many offspring do not need tospend parental energy on nurturing, allowing more energy to be devoted to survival and more breeding.These two stra...
2) " Prints" -- As it applies to Reproduction Prints Printing is an industrial process for reproducing copies of texts and images, typically with ink on paper using a printing press. It is an essential part of publishing. Books are usually printed today using the technique of offset printing,and occasionally relief print,(which is principally used for newspapers and catalogues ). History of printing Printing was first discovered and developed in China. Primitive Woodblock printing wasalready in use by the 6th century BC. The oldest surviving book printed using the more sophisticated block printing dates from 868 AD (The Diamond Sutra of AD 868, a Buddhist scripture). The movable type printer was invented by Pi Sheng in 1040. The movable type metal printingpress was invented in Korea in 1403. By the 12th and 13th century many Arabic and Chineselibraries contained tens of thousands of printed books. There is little direct evidence, but it is highly probable that Chinese printing technology diffused into Europe through tradelinks that went through India and on through the Arabic world. Johann Gutenberg, of the German city ofMainz, developed began to develop European printing technology in 1440. Basing the design of his machine on a wine press,Gutenberg developed the use of raised and movable type and from the start used oil based paints. This development of the printing press revolutionized the spread of knowledge: a printing press was built in Venice in 1469,and the city had 417 printers by 1500. In 1476, a printing press was developed in England by William Caxton ; in 1539, the Spaniard Juan Pablos set up an imported press in Mexico City, Mexico.Stephen Day built the first printing press in North America at Massachusetts Bay in 1628, and helped establish the CambridgePress. Computer printing A document can also be printed by a laser printer, inkjet, or other computerprinter. In recent years, computer print...
