Detailed explanation-1: -Single celled organisms such as bacteria reproduce asexually. Among complex organisms, many plants and even some animals do too. These include bananas, starfish, and even komodo dragons. Despite this, up to 99% of complex organisms reproduce sexually, at least some of the time.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sexual reproduction is more much complex than asexual reproduction. It requires the production of sex cells, or gametes, which have half the number of chromosomes of all other cells in the organism.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sexual reproduction allows for greater genetic innovation over time than clonal, improving the chances that an organism can solve the problems at hand.
