Question

Sexual reproduction differs from asexual reproduction in that it __________.

Options

• Involves only one parent

• Always produces genetically identical offspring

• Involves the fusion of male and female gametes

• Occurs only through mitosis

Answer 1

Sexual reproduction differs from asexual reproduction in that it involves the fusion of male and female gametes.

Explanation:

Sexual reproduction involves gametogenesis (formation of gametes), followed by fertilisation (fusion of male and female gametes), leading to the formation of a zygote. This process introduces genetic variation through meiosis.
