Which two statements explain ways
in which cells get nutrients

D) Sexual reproduction increases genetic variation because random mutations can be shuffled between organisms.

Explanation:

Sexual reproduction involves the combination of two gametes from two different parents one from the male parent and another from female parents. So as the two different gene combination occurs in sexual reproduction, therefore, it increases the genetic variation.  

Also, the random mutation that occurs in the DNA can be shuffled between organisms during the fertilization event of reproduction. This increases the genetic variation because new alleles and genes get added to the gene pool. So good mutation is selected naturally and through reproduction, it passes to a new generation. So the right answer is D.
