### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Sexual Reproduction**: - Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of male and female gametes, resulting in offspring that inherit genetic material from both parents. Each gamete carries half the number of chromosomes, leading to genetic diversity in the progeny. 2. **Genetic Variation in Sexual Reproduction**: - The combination of genetic material from two parents creates a mixture of traits. This genetic recombination allows for a wide range of variations in the offspring, which can lead to more viable traits that can enhance survival. ...
