Verified step by step guidance

Understand that the question is asking for the name of the process where two parents each contribute genetic material to their offspring.

Recall that in genetics, when offspring receive genetic information from two different parents, this involves the combination of genetic material from both.

Recognize that 'Cloning' refers to producing genetically identical individuals from a single parent, so it does not involve two parents.

Know that 'Asexual reproduction' involves only one parent and produces offspring genetically identical to that parent, so it also does not fit the description.

Identify that 'Sexual reproduction' is the process where two parents contribute genetic material, resulting in offspring with a mix of genes from both parents.
