Question

Using specific events in the formation of gametes and zygotes, describe why there is a greater diversity in sexual reproduction than in asexual reproduction.

Answer 1

One of these processes essentially mixes genetic material from two different parents while the other simply duplicates and passes on the genetic material from one parent. You should begin your answer by outlining the salient biologic processes in both reproductive processes. Then compare them by discussing which steps in each have a role in creating (or not creating) genetic diversity among the offspring.
