Solution

Answer: (b) Gametes of parents have qualitatively different genetic composition.
• Offspring formed by sexual reproduction exhibit more variation than those formed by asexual reproduction because gametes of parents have qualitatively different genetic composition.
• In asexual reproduction due to the involvement of only one parent, so there is no chance of variation.
