Fill in the Blank

Reproduction where two parents create offspring which are a new combination of traits

Multiple Choice

Sexual reproduction increases genetic ____________ because it involves 2 parents and 2 sets of chromosomes.

• distribution

• similarity

• different, different

Multiple Choice

A benefit of asexual reproduction is that it is ________.

• both sexually and asexually

• only asexually

• only sexually

• plants do not reproduce
