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:

The zygote acquires 50% of chromosome from both the parents.

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


    • Genetic variation is the difference in the genetic make up between individuals of the same species.
    • In sexual reproduction, the zygote is formed by the fusion of two haploid gametes.
    • The zygote will have the combination of traits from both the parents.
