Sexual reproduction can be described as a type of reproduction in which offsprings with genetic diversity are produced. Sexual reproduction occurs by the process of meiosis.
DNA is the genetic material which is passed from the parents to the offsprings at the time of fertilization. However, the phenomenon of individual assortment and crossing over during the process of meiosis produces genetic variability among the children and the parents.
A. is a blend of the genetic material of its parents.
Explanation:
<em>A. is a blend of the genetic material of its parents.
</em>
<em>B. will be passed to its offspring without any changes.
</em>
<em>C. is identical to its parents' genetic material.
</em>
<em>D. all of these</em>
<em>The genetic material of the organism will be a mixture of the genetic materials from both of its parents in a sexually producing organism.</em>
Sexually reproducing organisms inherit their genetic materials from their parents. Maternal and paternal genetic materials mix together during fertilization to give rise to the genetic materials of the offspring.
<em>The genetic material cannot be passed to the offspring without being modified. Gamete formation during meiosis requires recombination of genetic materials and fertilization ensures that the genetic materials of both parents are mixed to give rise to that of the offspring.</em>
