Fecundity

Fecundity refers to the biological ability of an individual or a population to reproduce successfully, producing viable offspring. It is often measured by the number of eggs, seeds, or young produced over a certain period or reproductive cycle. In humans, fecundity indicates the potential to conceive, while in other species, it relates to the capacity for producing offspring. Fecundity can be influenced by factors such as age, health, environmental conditions, and genetics, and it plays a key role in understanding population growth and reproductive health.
