Answer:

B. Sexual reproduction results in offspring that each have a unique set of genes.

Step-by-step explanation:

New genetic variation arises in a species as a result of sexual reproduction which results in offspring having a unique set of genes.

  • Genetic variation is the differences in the genetic make up of organisms within a population.
  • During sexual reproduction, there is an exchange of materials between sexes and the new combination produces a varied form of the original genetic materials.
  • The main source of genetic variation is mutation.
