Solution

The correct answer is b. Genetic material comes from two parents of the same species.

Here's why:

Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of male and female gametes, each from two different individuals, to form a new individual. Each parent contributes half of the genetic material via their gametes. This means that the offspring will have a combination of traits from both parents, leading to more variation.

This is different from asexual reproduction, where all the genetic material comes from a single parent, leading to offspring that are genetically identical to the parent.

Option a is incorrect because the length of the process does not affect genetic variation.

Option c is incorrect because sexual reproduction typically occurs between two individuals of the same species.

Option d is incorrect because sexual reproduction involves two parents, not many.
