Question

sexual reproduction involves specialized cells, each of which contains half the amount of dna of a normal body cell. two of these specialized cells, one from each parent, fuse together during sexual reproduction to create a new cell that can develop into a unique individual. this individual is similar to, but distinct from, each parent.
complete the paragraph.
during sexual reproduction, dna from
is
to form a new cell that develops into a new individual. the offsprings set of dna is
each parents set of dna.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The first blank refers to the specialized sex cells (gametes, one from each parent) that carry half the DNA. The second blank describes the process where these cells combine, which is fusion. The third blank reflects that the offspring's DNA is a unique combination that is similar but not identical to each parent's full set.

Answer:

During sexual reproduction, DNA from two parent gametes (one from each parent) is fused to form a new cell that develops into a new individual. The offspring's set of DNA is a unique combination similar but not identical to each parent's set of DNA.
