PLEASE HELP How does sexual reproduction help to maintain genetic variation?
SELECT ALL THAT APPLY.

A) Reduction division reduces the number of chromosomes in a reproductive cell, resulting in four daughter cells with different DNA.

B) Fertilization copies the DNA in an organism and creates a new organism with the same genetic code.

C) Fertilization, or the fusing of two gametes, creates an organism with a new combination of DNA.

D) Reduction division increases the number of chromosomes in a cell, giving the gamete more genetic material to pass on.

Sexual reproduction increases the genetic variation within the population, because new individuals are made by randomly combining genetic material from two parents. Because only fit individuals reach sexual maturity and reproduce, the overall population tends toward increasing fitness in its environment.

Explanation:

C.

Explanation:

u get some dna from the dad and some from the mom when they combine u get a new genetic sequence so u dont become an inbred humonculi like the mods on this website

primary succession occurs in essentially lifeless areas regions in which the soil is incapable of sustaining life as a result of such factors as lava flows, newly formed sand dunes, or rocks left from a retreating glacier. secondary succession occurs
