1239 - What is the function of the reproductive system in humans?

The reproductive system in humans has two main functions:

1. Making babies: It helps create a new life by producing sperm in boys and eggs in girls. When a sperm meets an egg, it forms a baby that can grow inside a woman's body.

2. Passing on traits: It passes on traits from parents to their children, like eye color, hair color, and height. This is because the sperm and egg contain special information that determines what the baby will look like.

In simpler words, the reproductive system helps make babies and determine how they look.
