Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Organism exhibiting sexual reproduction exhibits male and female gamete formation either in a single individual or in two different individuals of the opposite sex. Fertilization is the process of fusion of male and female gamete that results in the formation of a zygote. Since sexual reproduction takes place by fusion of male and female gamete, the resulting offsprings produced are non identical to the parents as well as amongst themselves.
