Question

explain how sexual reproduction increases genetic diversity in many species of plants and animals, make sure to include the importance and function of gametes

Answer 1

Sexual reproduction is a process involving the fusion of two gametes to form a zygote. Gametes are special reproductive cells produced by meiosis. It produces genetically dissimilar offspring. Offspring may inherit beneficial qualities from both parents and there is a greater genetic variation in the offspring, leading to species that are better adapted to changes in the environment.

Answer 2

Answer:

Two parents are required for sexual reproduction to occur. Basically a male gamete collides with a female gamete, and BOOM. Zygote. That zygote thingy turns into a baby, and because it was fused with both the male gamete and the female gamete, itss gentics are from both sides, making it diverse.
