(N/A) The characteristics of sexual reproduction are as follows:
$1$. Two parents of opposite sex are involved in the process.
$2$. Two dissimilar gametes (male and female) are formed; the process of gamete formation involves meiosis.
$3$. Genetic variations are produced due to the recombination of genetic material.
$4$. It occurs in most higher organisms and some lower organisms.
$5$. Fertilization,which is the fusion of male and female gametes,leads to the formation of a diploid zygote.
$6$. It is a relatively slow and complex process compared to asexual reproduction.
