Answer: Sexual reproduction provides genetic diversity because the sperm and egg that are produced contain different combinations of genes than the parent organisms.

Explanation: Each resulting cell, or gamete, resulting from meiosis has only half the amount of DNA as the parent cell.

Sexual reproduction has the potential to produce tremendous genetic variation in offspring.
This variation is due to independent assortment and crossing-over during meiosis, and random union of gametes during fertilization.
