AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The advantages of sexual reproduction: produces genetic variation in the offspring. the species can adapt to new environments due to variation, which gives them a survival advantage. a disease is less likely to affect all the individuals in a population.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sexual reproduction has the advantage of increasing genetic variation in offspring. Asexual reproduction has the advantage of producing offspring rapidly, especially in the case of bacteria.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sexual reproduction results in genetic variation, or genetic differences, between parents and offspring. Offspring inherit one set of chromosomes from each parent. So, an offspring has a mixture of chromosomes (and alleles) from its two parents. Sexual reproduction also results in genetic variation among siblings.

Detailed explanation-4: -Asexual species, on the other hand, do not have genetic variability like we do-each of their offspring has the exact same genetic makeup as their parent.
