Offspring formed by sexual reproduction exhibit more variation than those formed by Asexual reproduction because:

Asexual reproduction is that type of reproduction in which only single parent is involved. Asexual reproduction takes place by different methods like Budding, Binary fission etc.  → Budding: This type of...

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.

The lanthanides that exhibit +2 and +4 states are shown in the given table. The atomic numbers of the elements are given in the parenthesis. +2 +4 Nd (60) Ce (58) Sm (62) Pr (59) Eu (63) Nd...

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.

a. Offspring do not possess exact copies of parental DNA

(b) i and ii is correct.

b. Zoospores are sexual reproductive structures

During asexual reproduction (i) Due to absence of fertilization and meiosis. There is lack of crossing over during meiosis. (ii) So no new recombination are produced and the offspring produced are genetically...
