Sexual reprodution
Because the offspring would be genetically unique
The daughter cells that result from mitotic cell division are genetically identical. The daughter cells that result from meiotic cell division are genetically unique.
Meiosis makes each new cell genetically unique in terms of DNA. This ensures that the offspring of the organism is also genetically unique as the two gametes (sex cells) combine together to give the cell a full set of chromosomes that the cell needs to divide/multiply into a new life.
Variations results from sperm and egg because the DNA is being combined from both parents. This means that the offspring are genetically different from their parents.
Clones are offspring that are genetically identical to their parents and are produced through asexual reproduction, as opposed to sexual reproduction which produces a genetically different offspring.
Because the offspring would be genetically unique
Sexual reproduction.
asexual reproduction
The daughter cells that result from mitotic cell division are genetically identical. The daughter cells that result from meiotic cell division are genetically unique.
No. DNA is unique to every person in the world. Even identical twins have DNA markers that are different from each other. Therefore, when you have any offspring, sexually produced or lab-grown, that offspring is going to have a unique combination of DNA from both parents that will be unique only to that offspring.
more offspring
Sexual reproduction
Better adapted to the environment due new genetic combinations by crossing over.
Asexual reproduction requires only one parent with one set of genes, produces a large amount of offspring at one time, and all offspring are genetically identical to the parent. Sexual reproduction requires two parents with two different sets of genes, produces few offspring at one time, and each offspring is genetically unique from the parents.
If you are genetically unique sexual reproduction created you
The offspring is not identical to parent in sexual reproduction because sexual reproduction produces an offspring that is genetically different from the parents. ---- The answer above is actually incorrect. The offspring is identical genetically to the parent because mitosis produces cells genetically identical to the parent cell or cells. But the offspring itself is not identical.
That is genetically impossible.
