What is sexual reproduction? When two sets of DNA from the parent organisms bond to create an offspring possesing traits from each parent.
What is asexual reproduction? When an an offspring is created from one parent, it is an exact copy of its one parent. (Is usually a single celled organism or plant)
Which type of reproduction leads to greater diversity? Sexual reproduction would lead to greater diversity
