alleryIn SEXUAL reproduction, the offspring inherit:
AGenetic material from neighbours
BGenetic material from both parents — leading to genetic variation
CGenetic material from one parent only
DNo genetic material
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Genetic material from both parents — leading to genetic variation
Sexual reproduction combines genetic material (chromosomes) from both parents — male and female gametes fuse to form a zygote.
Offspring share characters from both parents, and the recombination creates genetic variation across the population.
