Choose the answer below that is an advantage of sexual reproduction.

Only one parent/parent cell is needed

Increased genetic variation in a population

Large number of offspring created quickly

Offspring identical to parent cell

Answer: Increased genetic variation

Explanation:

Sexual reproduction can be defined as the process in which the two parent is involved. One parent is male and other one is female.

Both of parents release gametes and they fuse together in order to form a zygote. The zygote developed is not identical and has some variation in the characters may be the combination of both male and female characters.

There is a lot of genetic variation seen in case of the sexual reproduction which provides stability to the offspring.

The offspring produced are less in number as compared to asexual reproduction.

I believe the answer is increased genetic variation in a population
