The genes and something else.
(Biological Significance of Sex :
Types of Reproduction :
Reproduction is a basic characteristic of all forms of life. There are two types: sexual and asexual. In sexual reproduction new individuals come about through the union of special sex cells known as gametes. It takes place in almost all plants and animals. Asexual reproduction does not involve gametes. In most one-cell microorganisms, for example, two individuals will be produced as a result of the splitting of one cell. Asexual reproduction is also involved when cuttings of stems of a plant are induced to produce roots. In asexual reproduction the new individuals are genetically identical to the parents. As we will see, this is not the case when sexual reproduction takes place. )

Are you a physician? If so you know better than me, I am just a management specialist.
