Why in sexual reproduction variation is ...

Why in sexual reproduction variation is observed even though the DNA and chromosomes do not get doubled ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Variation is observed in offsprings produced through sexual reproduction because off- springs receive DNA and chromosomes from two different parents.
New variation is made in DNA copying in parental generation and during gamete formation, meiosis is also responsible for new combinations.
