How do the offspring of sexually reproducing organisms receive DNA from both parents?

it comes from the actual organism that is trying to reproduce asexually. asexual reproduction is like cloning almost. like in bacteria they go through binary fission which is also asexual reproduction. There genes are duplicated and then the offspring is budded off in a sense. the only way to get genetic variation is through mutations in their DNA.

Both of these gametes combine to form a zygote. The resulting zygote has half of the male's genetic code and half of the female's genetic code. The zygote soon develops into an organism, and has the traits of both of it's parents.

Where do sexually reproducing organisms inherit their alleles from?
From their parents.
What are the offspring of sexual reproduction related to their parent?
What could be said is that the offspring will not be identical, genetically or regarding appearance; there will be variation between offspring and their sexually reproducing parents.
What are the parents organisms?
Mendall offspring
What is the difference between bacterial sex and sexual reproduction in plants and animals?
Bacterial is a plant reproducing itself. sexual is two parents that mate in order to make offspring.
What does fertile offspring mean?
Fertile offspring are offspring of parents which can continue to reproduce (for example Humans). However you can also get infertile offspring which cannot reproduce (an example of this is a mule, but it is not always the case.

What are some advantages for reproducing sexually?
The offspring are a genetic mixture of the parents. The parents have survived to reproductive age. At least that is what they told me, but look to the dandelion, which reproduces asexually -- is there a deficit?
What are the parents organisms?
Mendall offspring
What is the term for genetic weakness in offspring caused by two similar parents reproducing?
inbreeding
Why does the karyotypes of a sister and brother different?
each offspring in a sexually reproducing species inherits a unique combination of genes from its two parents. this combined set of genes contributes to a unique combination of traits in each individual
What produces offspring's that are similar to parents?
all organisms can divide to produce same offspring that are similar to the parents
What produces offspring that are similar to the parents?
all organisms can divide to produce same offspring that are similar to the parents
What is a new organism produced by one or more parents?
A new organism that is produced by a parent is called an offspring. Some organisms reproduce asexually while others reproduce sexually.
All organisms can what or offspring that are similar to the parents?
reproduce
All organisms can or produce offspring that are similar to the parents?
to Reproduce
Why are there exactly 2 chromosomes in each homologue in sexually reproducing organisms?
Because that's the process of meiosis. The daughter cells have to be have half the number of chromosomes than the parent cell. Half from your mother, half from your father.
