summarize the steps of sexual reproduction and explain how it increases genetic diversity
Okay :) So I found this link, which is pretty accurate from what I remember :) very detailed! http://www.yourarticlelibrary.com/biology/sexual-reproduction-3-stages-of-sexual-reproduction-cycle/11712/ and as for the second part, i believe it increases genetic diversity because asexual reproduction plays a role, and not gametes with different qualities, so offspring is similar to individual. when characteristics of two individuals,the parents, are combined, a mix of traits/characteristics is formed, so more genetic diversity is created. that's from what i remember :) but maybe double check with somebody if you see something that seems a bit off! :)
