What are the odds that one heterozygous parent and one homozygous recessive parent have a heterozygous offspring?
50%

How are new cells created?
All cells come from pre-existing cells. They are created through either meiosis or mitosis.

Meiotic cell division is an example of sexual reproduction. Why is the sexual reproduction of cells important?
Sexual reproduction allows for the exchange of genetic information. This allows for variation and can compensate for recessive abnormalities and genetic mutations.
