Solution

Asexual and Sexual reproduction:

  1. Sexual reproduction is the process through which two organisms' genetic material is combined to form a new organism.
  2. Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction where the gametes do not fuse or the number of chromosomes changes.

Advantages of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction:

  1. More variations are formed during sexual reproduction. This assures that a species will survive in a population.
  2. The newly formed individual possesses traits from both parents.

Final answer: One major advantage of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction is that in sexual reproduction the population has increased genetic variability.
