An individual of sexual reproduction inherits half its genes from its one parent and the other half of its genes from another parent. Individuals which are produced from asexual reproduction are genetically identical to their one and only parent.

Which mode of reproduction produces offspring that is genetically unique?

Sexual reproduction involves the combining of genes from two individual parents, resulting in genetically unique offspring. This genetic diversity allows for variations and adaptation within a population.


Two parents pass on their genes to offspring in?

sexual reproduction, where gametes combine to create a new individual with a unique genetic makeup that is a combination of traits from both parents. This genetic diversity allows for variations in offspring and promotes evolutionary adaptation.


When does Variation produced by sexual reproduction starts?

Variation produced by sexual reproduction starts during meiosis, a process where genetic material is shuffled and combined from the mother and father to create unique offspring. This genetic diversity leads to variations in traits among individuals in a population.


How does DNA in offspring produced by asexual reproduction compare to DNA in offspring produced by sexual reproduction?

If an offspring was produced through asexual reproduction, its genes will be exactly like its parent. This is more or less a clone of the parent. An example of this is a bacterium. If an offspring is produced through sexual reproduction, it will contain genes from both parents. (such as humans)


What are the sources of variation in the offspring produced by sexual reproduction?

The sources of variation in offspring produced by sexual reproduction include genetic recombination through meiosis, independent assortment of chromosomes, crossing over during prophase I, and random fertilization of gametes leading to a unique combination of genetic material.

Why is sexual reproduction advantageous for the plan?

Sexual reproduction "mixes up" the genes so that each new individual is unique.


Why is each individual by sexual reproduction unique?

each individual has its own set of traits


Is a plant produced from a seed an example of a clone?

No. The enormous majority of seeds (from Spermatophyta) are the product of a sexual reproduction which mean the containing embrio is a unique individual.

What is a statement of sexual reproduction?

Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of male and female gametes to produce a new genetically unique individual. It increases genetic diversity within a population, which can be advantageous for adaptation to changing environments.

What are the different forms of sexual reproduction?

Asexual: when there is one "parent" involved. In a cell, the offspring looks identical to the parent. Sexual: There is a combination of two different sets genetics that make a different offspring from their parents.


Which type of reproduction involves meiosis and creates offspring that are genetically unique?
