Solution

Sexual reproduction:

  1. Reproduction is a biological process that results in the formation of new young or offspring from an organism.
  2. The offspring developed similar qualities to the individual who gave birth to them.
  3. The uniting of genetic material from two separate individuals of the same species characterizes sexual reproduction.
  4. During fertilization, the genetic material in the form of haploid gametes such as eggs and spermatozoa combines to form a diploid zygote.
