Answer 1

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 reflects the process of meiosis and fertilization, where gametes (sperm and egg) carry one allele for each gene, contributing to the genetic makeup of the offspring.
