How sexual reproduction is advantageous over asexual reproduction?

Open in App
Solution

Sexual reproduction brings variations in the population.when gametes(reproductive cells) from two individuals meet, genes from two individuals are coming together.So the offspring will be different from both parents.That is how moe variety can be seen in the offsprings in sexual reproduction.
Variety is important for the population to adapt for any change in the suroundings.
Asexual reproduction produces carbon copies of individuals.Variety is not seen in populations.So they cant adapt well if changes occur in population.
