The correct answer is:
II and IV
In both types of reproduction (asexual and sexual) there is transfer of genetic material from parent (s) to offspring which have some resemblances with their parents. Reduction division (meiosis) has to occur if a diploid body has to produce haploid gametes that is in case of sexual reproduction only.
Gametic fusion The formation of male and female gametes and their fusion to form the zygote also takes place only in the sexual reproduction.
