Question

What type of reproduction shuffles the genes

Answer 1

Answer:

Sexual reproduction

Explanation:

Reproduction, the process of giving birth to new organisms is of two types;

• Sexual reproduction

• Asexual reproduction

Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of male and female gametes which gives rise to a zygote that eventually grows to become a new organism. These gametes are produced through meiotic cell division or gametogenesis.

In the early stage of this meiosis, homologous chromosomes pair up to form a tetrad and exchange of chromosomal segments take place between non-sister chromatids in a process known as crossing over.

Crossing over results in genetic recombination or gene reshuffling and ensures that daughter cells/gametes are genetically different from their parent cells.

Asexual reproduction involves the production of new organisms directly from the parent. The new organisms inherit the genes of the parents directly as there is no mechanism for genetic reshuffling.

Hence, the answer is sexual reproduction.

Answer 2

Sexual reproduction shuffles the genes.. why? because the half of the dna of the dad mixes with the half of the dna of the mom which produces shuffeled dna or genes which is later the offspring.
