An advantage of sexual reproduction is that
|
|
it takes less time
|
|
|
it requires more time
|
|
|
it provides genetic diversity
|
|
|
it produces identical offspring
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The advantage of sex has been suggested to be its ability, through recombination, to generate greater genetic diversity than asexuality, thus enhancing adaptation in a changing environment.
Detailed explanation-2: -Asexually reproducing organisms spend fewer resources for the same reproductive output, meaning their populations grow and expand faster than sexually reproducing ones. On the other hand, asexual populations have reduced genetic diversity and, hence, lower adaptability to changing environments.
