List the two types of reproduction. Which one of the two is responsible for bringing in more variations in its progeny and how?
Answers
Reproduction is a fundamental feature of all known life; each individual organism exists as the result of reproduction. There are two forms of reproduction: asexual and sexual. In asexual reproduction, an organism can reproduce without the involvement of another organism.
Two types of reproduction:
Sexual reproduction
Asexual reproduction
Sexual reproduction is responsible for bringing in more variations in its progeny.
It takes place by the combination of male and female gametes.
Gametes are formed from one cell which involves copying of DNA and the cellular apparatus. DNA copying is not absolutely accurate, and errors result in new variations. With every DNA copied, a new variation is introduced, and this DNA copy may already have several variations accumulated from the previous generations.

Answer :
Reproduction methods are of two types : Sexual and Asexual. Out of these, sexual reproduction brings more variation in organisms. In sexual reproduction fusion of male and female gametes from different organisms occurs. fusion of gametes come from two different individuals, the offsprings exhibit more diversity of characters. Also during gamete formation, meiosis occurs which brings new combinations of genes. Both these factors lead to more variations in the progeny.
