Solution

Sexual reproduction has the following advantages over asexual reproduction.

  1. Sexual reproduction involves combination of maternal and paternal gametes.
  2. Offspring exhibit diversity of characters.
  3. Meiosis during gametogenesis provides opportunities for new combination of genes. Thus it plays a prominent role in the origin of new species and leads to variation required for evolution.
