Detailed explanation-1: -Daffodils are plants that can perform both asexual and sexual reproduction. How does a daffodil population benefit more by reproducing sexually than asexually? It can increase the diversity of inherited traits.
Detailed explanation-2: -Daffodils are a plant that can reproduce both ways; asexually from their bulb and sexually through seed production. Strawberries are similar in that they can reproduce sexually through seed production, or asexually with runners that spread through the ground and create daughter plants from the parent.
Detailed explanation-3: -What are the evolutionary advantages for an organism to reproduce both asexually and sexually? Asexual reproduction is fast and best under favorable conditions while sexual reproduction allows the reproduction of new generation carries different traits and can adapt better to a changed environment.
Detailed explanation-4: -Sexual reproduction provides genetic diversity because the sperm and egg that are produced contain different combinations of genes than the parent organisms. Asexual reproduction, on the other hand, does not need sperm and eggs since one organism splits into two organisms that have the same combination of genes.
