Detailed explanation-1: -The offspring inherit a mixture of genes from both parents, so are different to each other and their parents. The advantages of sexual reproduction: produces genetic variation in the offspring. the species can adapt to new environments due to variation, which gives them a survival advantage.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sexual reproduction produces a new combination of genes in the offspring that may better enable them to survive changes in the environment and assist in the survival of the species.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The correct answer is (b) Sexual reproduction provides more genetic variability. Sexual reproduction produces genetically diverse offspring from two separate parents, resulting in more genetic variability.
Detailed explanation-4: -b) In sexual reproduction, there is a fusion of male and female gamete which causes mixing of parent characters and thus, variation is observed in the offsprings of sexually reproducing organisms.
