|
|
The population can reproduce more rapidly.
|
|
|
It takes time and energy to find a mate.
|
|
|
Only one parent is required to reproduce.
|
|
|
There is increased genetic variation.
|
Detailed explanation-1: -The advantages of sexual reproduction: it produces variation in the offspring. the species can adapt to new environments due to variation, which gives them a survival advantage. a disease or change in environment is less likely to affect all the individuals in a population.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sexual reproduction recombines genes more quickly, creating new mutations that might offer an advantage in the new environment.
Detailed explanation-3: -Genetic variation is advantageous to a population because it enables some individuals to adapt to the environment while maintaining the survival of the population.
Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Organisms produced by sexual reproduction have a greater survival rate as compared to asexual reproduction as organisms have variation which is adapted to various environments. They are less likely to be affected by various diseases.
