(b) Offspring produced are not identical to the parents or amongst themselves.

B

This type of reproduction will always involve meiosis.
C

In this type of reproduction gametes are always formed by mitosis.
D

Budding and fragmentation are examples of this type of reproduction.

Solution

Sexual reproduction involves formation of the male and female gametes, either by the same individual or by different individuals of the opposite sex. These gametes fuse to form the zygote which develops to form the new organism. It is an elaborate, complex and slow process as compared to asexual reproduction. Because of the fusion of male and female gametes, sexual reproduction results in offspring that are not identical to the parents or amongst themselves. Meiosis is always involved in sexual reproduction.
