How to use it
Reproducir means 'to reproduce'. Irregular: yo reproduzco. Senses: (1) copy/replicate (reproducir los datos); (2) play back (reproducir un vídeo); (3) reproduce biologically (reproducirse). The replication and playback senses dominate at B2 in formal and technical registers.

Reproducir yo-form is reproduzco. Three senses: replicate, play back, reproduce biologically. In academic writing, reproducir los resultados/datos is the standard collocation for replication. Don't confuse with repetir (say again).
