Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
One advantage of sexual reproduction to asexual is ____
A
it is fast
B
large numbers of offspring are produced
C
offsrping are genetically different
D
offspring are identical
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The offspring inherit a mixture of genes from both parents, so are different to each other and their parents. 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.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are two main forms: sexual and asexual reproduction. In sexual reproduction, an organism combines the genetic information from each of its parents and is genetically unique. In asexual reproduction, one parent copies itself to form a genetically identical offspring.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of gametes and the genetic information they contain. The main advantage of this over asexual reproduction is the genetic diversity that arises from the recombination of alleles from two parents.
