Offspring formed as a result of sexual reproduction exhibit more variations because

(a) (i) and (ii)

(c) both similarities and variations with parents

(a) Sexual reproduction involves two parents with different sets of characters (b) The gene combinations are different in gametes.

In sexual reproduction, two individuals having different variations combine their DNA to give rise to a new individual. Therefore, sexual reproduction allows more variations, whereas in asexual reproduction, chance variations...

Oviparous animals lay eggs outside their body. As a result, the eggs of these animals are under continuous threat from various environmental factors. On the other hand, in viviparous animals,...

Offspring formed by asexual reproduction are called clones because they are morphologically and genetically similar to the parent.

a. Sexual reproduction brings about variation in the offspring. b. Since gamete formation is preceded by meiosis, genetic recombination occurring during crossing over (meiosis-I), leads to a great deal of variation...

Clone refers to off spring of an organism formed by asexual method of reproduction. Since they possess exact copies of the DNA of their parent, clones exhibit remarkable similarity.

Sexual reproduction promotes diversity of characters in the offsprings. It results in new combination of genes.
