Question

Offspring formed due to sexual reproduction have better chances of survival. Why? is this statement always true?

Answer 1

Yes, it is true that offsprings born from sexual reproduction have better survival rates than those of asexual reproduction. This is because during sexual reproduction, the gametes of two parents, male and female, come together and fuse. Thus, the offspring has the genetic material of both the parents. Apart from this, variations are also introduced in the offsprings. As a result, they are better adapted to the environment as these variations help them to survive better.
