Detailed explanation-1: -Sexual reproduction results in genetic variation, or genetic differences, between parents and offspring. Offspring inherit one set of chromosomes from each parent. So, an offspring has a mixture of chromosomes (and alleles) from its two parents. Sexual reproduction also results in genetic variation among siblings.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are two main forms: sexual and asexual reproduction. 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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Because of the fusion of male and female gametes sexual reproduction results in offspring that are not identical to the parents or amongst themselves.
