The correct answer is:
gametes of parents have qualitatively different genetic compostion
gametes of parents have qualitatively different genetic compostion
In asexual reproduction the offspring produced are not only identical to the parent but are also exact copies of their parent. It is because asexual reproduction involves single parent. So, in this case the genetic variation is not created.
While, in sexual reproduction, genetic variation is occured and inherited. In sexual reproduction, two parents (opposite sex) have different genetic composition participate in the reproductive process and also involve fusion of male and female gametes, which gives rise to the new individual having genetic composition of both.
