AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Sexual reproduction happens via fertilization. Fertilization is the fusion of gametes from two parents. Fertilization leads to new, diploid offspring. Sexual reproduction results in genetic variation, or genetic differences, between parents and offspring.

Detailed explanation-2: -During sexual reproduction the genetic material of two individuals is combined to produce genetically diverse offspring that differ from their parents.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sexual reproduction provides genetic diversity because the sperm and egg that are produced contain different combinations of genes than the parent organisms. Asexual reproduction, on the other hand, does not need sperm and eggs since one organism splits into two organisms that have the same combination of genes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Asexual species, on the other hand, do not have genetic variability like we do-each of their offspring has the exact same genetic makeup as their parent.

Detailed explanation-5: -The product of sexual reproduction are seeds. Seeds produced through fertilization contain genetic material from both parents. As a result, the offspring are not genetically identical to either of the parent plants. This genetic diversity can help them survive if the environment changes.
