The term for creating a new organism from two parents is known as sexual reproduction. This process involves the fusion of gametes—sperm from the male and egg from the female—resulting in offspring with a genetic combination of both parents. Sexual reproduction enhances genetic diversity, making populations more resilient to environmental changes and diseases. It contrasts with asexual reproduction, where organisms reproduce independently, producing clones. Understanding these reproductive strategies is fundamental in fields such as genetics, evolutionary biology, and agriculture.
