Explanation:

• Question 6: In sexual reproduction, genetic variation occurs due to processes like meiosis (crossing - over and independent assortment) and the combination of gametes from two parents. Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical (clones) to the parent, so no genetic variation (except for rare mutations).
• Question 7: Genetically inherited traits are passed from parents to offspring through genes. Examples can be selected from physical (like eye color), physiological (like blood type), or some behavioral (like certain instincts in animals) characteristics.

Answer:

• Question 6: B. Sexual
• Question 7: Eye color, hair color, blood type (Other valid examples could also be used such as freckles, attached or detached earlobes, etc.)
