Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Which type of reproduction results in diversity because the offspring are a combination of the parents and genetically different?

A	Asexual
B	Sexual

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -During sexual reproduction the genetic material of two individuals is combined to produce genetically diverse offspring that differ from their parents.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-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: -Sexual mode of reproduction involves fusion of gametes. That is, two parents contribute genetic information to produce a unique offspring. Asexual mode of reproduction gives an identical offspring as it is produced from a single parent.
