Question

32. Which of the following best explains why fertilization in sexual reproduction enhances genetic variability more than would be expected in asexual reproduction?Offspring receive genes which may be recessiveOffspring receive genes from both parentsGenetic variability is produced through mitotic cell divisionGenetic variability is produced through a high mutation rate

Answer 1

The best option would be the second one. Offspring receive genes from both parents

During sexual reproduction, offspring receives each copy of DNA from its parents (one copy from the mother and the other from the father). Genetic variability is produced during meiosis where there is a crossing over of the genes.
