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 is typically advantageous over asexual reproduction because the environment is constantly changing. Sexual reproduction allows new combinations of genes to form. This greater genetic diversity increases the phenotypic variation: that is, it increases the physical variety of the organisms.
Detailed explanation-4: -Sex Evolves When Organisms Are Less Adapted to Their Environment. Organisms that reproduce both sexually and asexually tend to switch to sex under stressful conditions.
Detailed explanation-5: -Sexual reproduction is important because it increases genetic variation in a population.
