Organisms reproduce in one of two ways to form our offspring. So one type of reproduction that humans and other animals undergo is known as sexual reproduction. And in sexual reproduction, we combine the DNA, the genetic information from the male parent and a female parent to produce an organism who is genetic information is unique. It's different than either one of the parents. And that's because sexual reproduction involves a type of cell division known as meiosis. And meiosis basically scrambles the genetic information and diversifies the genetic information of the offspring.
