How reproduction leads to variations?(asexual and sexual explain)
affanahmad49:
Sexual Reproduction: Sexualreproduction promotes geneticvariation by producing different gene combinations. Meiosis is the process by which sex cells or gametes are created. ... The genetic recombination of genes also occurs during crossing over or the swapping of gene segments in homologous chromosomes during meiosis.

Sexual reproduction provides genetic diversity because the sperm and egg that are produced contain different combinations of genes than the parent organisms. ... Asexual reproduction is one organism dividing into two organisms without shuffling its genes, so the offspring has the same version of genes as did the parent.

Sexual reproduction leads variation through meiosis and mixing of gametes
Explanation:
- Variation is seen in the offspring who are produced by sexual reproduction but offspring who are produced through asexual reproduction are identical to their parents.
- In sexual reproduction, meiosis occurs and in the meiosis, the exchange of genetic material occurs through crossing over between homologous chromosome which provides genetic diversity.
- Another process which leads to variation in sexual reproduction is by mixing two different gametes during the fertilization step. These processes do not occur in asexual reproduction.
