Solution

The correct option is D Offsprings are identical to parents
In sexual reproduction, offspring differ from parents. Two parents are involved in the process of sexual reproduction. Each parent produces the gametes, i.e, the sperm by the male and the ovum by the female. Both these gametes fuse to form the zygote.
