Explain why organisms produced by sexual reproduction have characteristics of both parents?

During reproduction - the egg (containing a copy of the mother's genetic code) combines with a sperm (containing a copy of the father's genetic code). The resultant 'mix' of genetic material retains characteristics from both parents, and thus the child inherits things like hair or eye colour, or height, or diseases.

What type of reproduction results in offspring that are usually genetically identical to previous and explain why?
Genetically identical offspring are produced by asexual reproduction, also known as cloning. In asexual reproduction, the parent organism simply replicates its own genetics. This is in contrast to sexual reproduction in which two parent organisms combine their genetics.
