SEXUAL REPRODUCTION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
if two organisms reproduce sexually, then their offspring will exhibit a genetic makeup that is
A
identical to only one parent
B
identical to all its siblings
C
a unique combination of traits
D
the recessive traits of each parent
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sexual reproduction involves two parents and produces offspring that are genetically unique. During sexual reproduction, two haploid gametes join in the process of fertilization to produce a diploid zygote. Meiosis is the type of cell division that produces gametes.

Detailed explanation-2: -The offspring of sexually reproducing organisms are all geneticallyidentical unique . Because of this, sexually reproducing organisms may haveless more successful survival of offspring in environments that change than asexually reproducing organisms, whose offspring are all geneticallyidentical unique .

Detailed explanation-3: -Asexual reproduction generates offspring that are genetically identical to a single parent.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sexual reproduction is the combination of (usually haploid) reproductive cells from two individuals to form a third (usually diploid) unique offspring. Sexual reproduction produces offspring with novel combinations of genes.

Detailed explanation-5: -Sexual reproduction is the combination of reproductive cells from two individuals to form genetically unique offspring.
