Sexual reproduction is characterised by the formation of a new individual by the union of two gametes. Although the offsprings obtain parental traits, they are not identical to their parents due to genetic recombination. Genetic recombination introduces new gene combinations and variations in a population, whichis a vital property differentiating sexual from asexual reproduction.
