Respuesta :

Sexual reproduction has the potential to produce tremendous genetic variation in offspring.
This variation is due to independent assortment and crossing-over during meiosis, and random union of gametes during fertilization.

Answer: Sexual reproduction provides genetic diversity because the sperm and egg that are produced contain different combinations of genes than the parent organisms.

Explanation:  Each resulting cell, or gamete, resulting from meiosis has only half the amount of DNA as the parent cell.
