Sexual reproduction.
The opposite, in which only one parent is needed, is asexual reproduction.
A male parent must fertilize the egg or eggs of a female in order to get offspring. Fertilization may take place sexually of asexually.

Offspring in sexual reproduction exhibit a combination of traits from both parents, blending their physical characteristics. This results in genetic diversity and variations in appearance among offspring, making each individual unique.
Generally, in sexual reproduction, two parents make offspring.
Parents pass on traits to their offspring through the transmission of genetic information. This information is contained in the parents' DNA, which is passed on to their offspring through the process of reproduction. Offspring inherit a combination of genetic material from both parents, which determines their physical characteristics and other traits.
Offspring in sexual reproduction inherit genetic material from both parents, leading to genetic variation and unique combinations of traits. This diversity helps offspring adapt to changing environments and potentially evolve advantageous characteristics compared to their parents.
The term used to describe the process of creating offspring is reproduction. It involves the production of new individuals which share characteristics inherited from their parents.
The difference between sexual and asexual is that in sexual reproduction, there are two parents, and in asexual, there is only one. In sexual reproduction, the two parents mix up their genes and produce a mix between the two parents. Asexual reproduction produces an exact match of the parent, since there were only the genes from the one parent.
Creation of offspring is the process by which new individuals are produced through sexual or asexual reproduction. This involves the fusion of genetic material from two parents, resulting in offspring with a combination of traits from both parents. The offspring inherit characteristics from their parents that determine their physical and behavioral attributes.
Asexual: the offspring has a single parent.Sexual: the offspring has two parents (combining some chromosomes from each parent). In asexual reproduction, as long as there are no mutations, the offspring are identical to the parents; in sexual reproduction, they are not.
Characteristics are inherited through genetic material passed down from parents to offspring. This genetic material determines traits such as eye color, height, and blood type. Inheritance is governed by the combination of genes that parents pass on to their offspring during reproduction.
In sexual reproduction, an organism inherits its chromosomes from both parents. Each parent contributes half of the total number of chromosomes required for the offspring. These chromosomes contain the genetic information necessary for the development and characteristics of the organism.
