Detailed explanation-1: -Offsprings produced are clones is incorrect statement for sexual reproduction. 1. In sexual reproduction, male and female gametes are formed by meiotic division which allows crossing over and recombination and this generates variation.
Detailed explanation-2: -Asexual reproduction generates offspring that are genetically identical to a single parent. In sexual reproduction, two parents contribute genetic information to produce unique offspring.
Detailed explanation-3: -Section Summary. Reproduction may be asexual when one individual produces genetically identical offspring, or sexual when the genetic material from two individuals is combined to produce genetically diverse offspring. Asexual reproduction occurs through fission, budding, and fragmentation.
Detailed explanation-4: -In sexual reproduction, an organism combines the genetic information from each of its parents and is genetically unique. In asexual reproduction, one parent copies itself to form a genetically identical offspring.
