"The offspring produced by sexual reproduction are genetically identical."
This is incorrect. Sexual reproduction (meiosis + fertilization) produces genetic variation—offspring inherit one chromosome (one allele) of each pair from each parent, and processes like independent assortment and crossing-over create unique combinations, so siblings (except identical twins from one zygote) are genetically different.
