Solution

(a) : Sexual reproduction always involves meiosis (zygotic in case of haploid individuals and gametic in case of diploid individuals). Meiosis results in crossing over between chromosomes during prophase I generating new recombinations. Besides, sexual reproduction generally involves combination of genes from two different organisms. Thus, sexual reproduction generates new genetic combinations leading to variations.
