Diversity can result from sexual reproduction. The sorting and combination of genes results in different genetic combinations, which allow offspring to be similar to, yet different from, their parents and each other. These variations may allow for survival of individuals when the environment changes. Diversity in a species increases the likelihood that some individuals will have characteristics suitable to survive under changed conditions.
