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: -During sexual reproduction the genetic material of two individuals is combined to produce genetically diverse offspring that differ from their parents. The genetic diversity of sexually produced offspring is thought to give species a better chance of surviving in an unpredictable or changing environment.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sexual reproduction involves the joining of two sex cells, or gametes during fertilisation . Organisms produced by sexual reproduction have two parents and are genetically similar to both but not identical to either. The advantages of sexual reproduction: it produces variation in the offspring.
