Detailed explanation-1: -During sexual reproduction, two haploid gametes combine into one diploid cell known as a zygote in a process called fertilization. The nuclei from the gametes fuse, and each gamete contributes half of the genetic material of the zygote.

Detailed explanation-2: -When an egg and a sperm fuse, they combine into a new cell called a zygote. The zygote contains all the genetic information it needs to become a new individual.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sexual reproduction is the creation of a new organism by combining the genetic material of two organisms. As both parents contribute half of the new organism’s genetic material, the offspring will have traits of both parents, but will not be exactly like either parent.

Detailed explanation-4: -During sexual reproduction the genetic material of two individuals is combined to produce genetically diverse offspring that differ from their parents.

Detailed explanation-5: -Sexual reproduction is the combination of (usually haploid) reproductive cells from two individuals to form a third (usually diploid) unique offspring. Sexual reproduction produces offspring with novel combinations of genes.
