Why is variation greater in sexual reproduction than in asexual reproduction?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because offspring get genetic information from both parents
Sexual reproduction combines genetic material from two parents. Meiosis produces varied gametes, and fertilisation joins one gamete from each parent, creating a new genetic combination in the offspring. This makes variation generally greater than in asexual reproduction, where one parent produces a nearly similar copy. Hence option A is correct; options B, C, and D contradict the process.
