Which of the following is not a way that sexual reproduction increases genetic diversity?

combined parenting leads to faster reproduction

recombination during meiosis occurs

genetic material from two individuals is combined

new combinations of genes occur

Combined parenting leads to faster reproduction

Explanation:

Genetic diversity or variations in the physical appearance of organisms is caused by genetic or environmental factors. Reproduction brings about variation through gamete formation, fertilization and mutations.

During prophase 1 of meiosis, homologous chromosomes pair to form bivalents. The crossing over at the chiasmata results in new gene combination and variations.

Fertilization permits parental genes to be brought together. This causes variations in members of the same family.

Mutation is the spontaneous change in genetic make-up. These changes may be inherited by offspring bringing variations. However, combining parenting does not increase genetic diversity.

i might be wrong but i think its a. let me know if i’m right and have a good rest of your day!
