|
|
|
Gametes from two parents unite to form a zygote.
|
|
|
Offspring are genetically identical with the parent.
|
|
|
Offspring are different from their parents and sibling.
|
|
|
Genetic variability of offspring help to ensure survival in changing environmental conditions.

Detailed explanation-1: -In the process of sexual reproduction, haploid gametes produced by the meiotic division fuses to form a diploid zygote. A child inherits half of the genetic material from each parent. So, it may be they look alike but they are not identical to their parents.
Detailed explanation-2: -It does not involve two parents, instead only a single parent is involved in this process. In asexual reproduction, the organism reproduces on its own without the help of other organisms. Seeds are formed as a result of the fusion of male and female gametes which occurs in sexual reproduction.
Detailed explanation-3: -Solution : Because of the fusion of male and female gametes, sexual reproduction resutls in offspring that are not identical to the parents or amongst themseleves.
Detailed explanation-4: -Genetic information is passed from one generation to another. Sexually reproduced offspring are never identical to their parents. Many species, of animals and plants, including humans reproduce sexually.
Detailed explanation-5: -Asexual reproduction generates offspring that are genetically identical to a single parent. In sexual reproduction, two parents contribute genetic information to produce unique offspring.
