• B. Genetic material comes from two parents of the same species
• C. Genetic material come from two parent of different species
• D. Genetic material comes from many parents

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Genetic material comes from two parents of the same species

The correct option is B.

Explanation of the correct option:

1. Sexual reproduction is a process in which two individuals of the same species contribute two different gametes, one male and one female.
2. The mixing of genetic material occurs as a result of gamete fusion, and a diploid cell with new combinations is formed.
3. Offspring produce more variants as a result of the contribution of both parents.

Final answer: Offspring formed as a result of sexual reproduction exhibit more variations because genetic material comes from two parents of the same species.
