1) Living beings reproduce through sexual or asexual means to create offspring and continue their species. Sexual reproduction requires a male and female to copulate while asexual reproduction can occur without interaction between individuals. 2) Some animals lay eggs like birds and fish, while others give live birth and nurse their young with milk like mammals. 3) Living things also interact through predation where stronger organisms prey on weaker ones, competition for resources, cooperation for mutual benefit, and symbiosis where organisms depend on each other in beneficial, harmful, or neutral ways.
