Historical Examples. 1  Folk of the land it had lapped in flame, with bale and brand. 2  Over these they lapped thinner ones, which gave us great pain. 3  So I lapped thee in blankets and brought thee, to-morrow is a se'nnight. 4  The stores of corn and fruit were lapped by millions of crimson tongues.
Heredity is the genetic information passing for traits from parents to their offspring, either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. This is the process by which an offspring cell or organism acquires or becomes predisposed to the characteristics of its parent cell or organism.
The third way that sexual reproduction provides greater genetic diversity than asexual reproduction is through the process of fertilization, or gamete fusion. Gametes contain only half the amount of DNA of a normal cell, so two gametes must fuse to form a new cell that will develop into a new organism.exual reproduction provides genetic diversity because the sperm and egg that are produced contain different combinations of genes than the parent organisms.
