Give scientific reasons for the following statements:
Sexual reproduction gives rise to variations.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Two parents are involved in sexual reproduction. The offspring inherits the genetic material (DNA) from both the parents through the gametes.
Gametes are produced by meiosis. New combinations and new arrangement of genes are formed as a result of meiosis.
These new combinations of genes on the chromosomes generate one or more variations in the zygote that inherits into an offspring.
Hence sexual reproduction creates more variations.
