Product of sexual reproduction generally generates
- new genetic combination leading to variation
- large biomass
- longer viability of seeds
- prolonged dormancy.
Answer
(1) new genetic combination leading to variation
Solution
As per NCERT, sexual reproduction involves the fusion of male and female gametes, often from different individuals.
⇒ Meiosis (with crossing over) and fusion of gametes bring together new combinations of genes in the zygote.
∴ The product of sexual reproduction generally generates new genetic combinations leading to variation.
