What is one advantage for a redwood tree to reproduce sexually instead of asexually?
A
It decreases thee time needed to reproduce.
B
It creates identical offspring.
C
It takes less time.
D
It increases the genetic diversity of the tree’s offspring.
Explanation: 

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: -What are the evolutionary advantages for an organism to reproduce both asexually and sexually? Asexual reproduction is fast and best under favorable conditions while sexual reproduction allows the reproduction of new generation carries different traits and can adapt better to a changed environment.

Detailed explanation-3: -However, asexual reproduction does not lead to variation between organisms, meaning that entire groups can be wiped out by disease, or if the stable environment changes. Sexual reproduction allows for variation, the most fundamental element of evolution.
