Offspring formed as a result of sexual reproduction exhibit more variations because
(a) sexual reproduction is a lengthy process
(b) genetic material comes from two parents of the same species
(c) genetic material comes from two parents of different species
(d) genetic material comes from many parents
Answer: The correct answer is (b) genetic material comes from two parents of the same species
Solution: Sexual reproduction is the process in which two individuals of the same species produce two different gametes i.e., one male gamete and another female gamete. These gametes upon fusion result in the formation of a zygote which produces new offspring. Because of the contribution of two parents, offspring produce more variations. Hence, (b) is the correct option.
