List the two types of reproduction. Which one of the two is responsible for bringing in more variations in its progeny and how?

Answer:

Reproduction methods are of two types: Sexual and Asexual. Out of these, sexual reproduction brings more variation in organisms. In sexual reproduction fusion of male and female gametes from different organisms occurs. Since the fusion of gametes come from two different individuals, the offsprings exhibits more diversity of characters. Also during gamete formation, meiosis occurs which brings new combinations of genes. Both these factors leads to more variations in the progeny.
