Answer 1

The correct response is:

Sexual reproduction produces offspring that are hybrids or mixes of the parents.

In sexual reproduction, genetic material from two parents is combined, resulting in offspring that have a mix of traits from both parents. In contrast, asexual reproduction typically involves a single parent and produces offspring that are genetically identical to that parent, leading to less genetic variation.
