Question

Sexual reproduction creates more variation because

  1. It is a lengthy process.
  2. Genetic material comes from a single parent.
  3. Genetic material comes from two parents of the same species.
  4. Genetic material comes from two parents belonging to different species.

hintHint:

Genetic material of two individuals are involved in sexual reproduction.

The correct answer is: Genetic material comes from two parents of the same species.


    • Sexual reproduction involves genetic material from two individuals of the same species
    • The gametes involved are called sperm (male) and egg (female), which are haploid
    • The sperm contains specific set of genetic information while the egg contains its own set of information
    • During fertilization step of sexual reproduction, fusion of the haploid gametes produces diploid zygote which is a combination of the genetic material from both the parents
