Detailed explanation-1: -Sexual reproduction has the potential to produce tremendous genetic variation in offspring. This variation is due to independent assortment and crossing-over during meiosis, and random union of gametes during fertilization.
Detailed explanation-2: -One major advantage of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction is that in sexual reproduction, the population has increased genetic variability. In sexual reproduction, two organisms mate, creating an offspring that is genetically unique, containing a combination of genes from both parents.
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.
