Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
offspring are not genetically identical to parents
A
sexual reproduction
B
asexual reproduction
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In the process of sexual reproduction, haploid gametes produced by the meiotic division fuses to form a diploid zygote. A child inherits half of the genetic material from each parent. So, it may be they look alike but they are not identical to their parents.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -In sexual reproduction, offspring formed are not identical to the parents.
