What is parents combine their genetic material to form a new organism?

When parents combine their genetic material, they undergo a process called sexual reproduction, resulting in the formation of a new organism. This occurs through the fusion of male and female gametes, typically sperm and egg cells, which each carry half of the genetic information. The resulting zygote contains a complete set of genes, inheriting traits from both parents. This genetic mixing contributes to the diversity of traits in the offspring.
