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: -Sexual reproduction allows for the reshuffling of genetic material, both within and between individuals of one generation, resulting in the potential for an extraordinary array of offspring, each with a genetic makeup different from that of its parents.
Detailed explanation-3: -Asexual reproduction generates offspring that are genetically identical to a single parent. In sexual reproduction, two parents contribute genetic information to produce unique offspring. Sexual and asexual reproduction have advantages and disadvantages-which is why some organisms do both!
