The correct statement that describes a component of sexual reproduction is:

Each parent has two alleles per trait and passes one allele to their offspring.

This statement accurately reflects how alleles are inherited: each parent contributes one allele for each trait, resulting in the offspring having a combination of alleles from both parents.
