Question
what are the advantages of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction
Open in App
Solution
Dear student,
In sexual reproduction, there is a variation in the offsprings produced, which is impossible in case of asexual reproduction, as in the latter process, offsprings produced are identical to their parent. The major advantage of sexual reproduction is that it generates variation in the next generation and makes them more suited for the changing environment.
Some genes which were lethal or disadvantageous could be lost in the genetic recombination.
Regards
