How sexual reproduction increases genetic diversity in many species of plants and animals

Sexual reproduction is a process involving the fusion of two gametes to

Gametes are special reproductive cells produced by meiosis. It produces genetically dissimilar offspring. Offspring may inherit beneficial qualities from both parents and there is a greater genetic variation in the offspring, leading to species that are better adapted to changes in the environment.
