Answer:

One characteristic that describes sexual reproduction and that is not present in asexual reproduction is the combination of genetic information from two parents.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sexual reproduction involves the participation of two individuals, whose genetic material is contributed and when they unite they give birth to a new individual, through the process of fertilization.

Individuals who reproduce sexually have the ability to form cells with half of their genetic charge, called gametes. The union of these cells forms the zygote, from which a new individual develops.

In asexual reproduction, a single individual is responsible for the reproductive process, which occurs by

  • Gemination.
  • Bipartition
  • Fragmentation.
  • Parthenogenesis.
  • Sporulation or sporogenesis.

Each one of these processes represents a different type of reproduction than the one that occurs sexually.
