Detailed explanation-1: -Sexual reproduction is more much complex than asexual reproduction. It requires the production of sex cells, or gametes, which have half the number of chromosomes of all other cells in the organism.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sexual reproduction allows for greater genetic innovation over time than clonal, improving the chances that an organism can solve the problems at hand.
Detailed explanation-3: -Single celled organisms such as bacteria reproduce asexually. Among complex organisms, many plants and even some animals do too. These include bananas, starfish, and even komodo dragons. Despite this, up to 99% of complex organisms reproduce sexually, at least some of the time.
Detailed explanation-4: -Complex organisms tend to reproduce sexually. Simple organisms tend to reproduce asexually.
Detailed explanation-5: -Sexual reproduction occurs in both plants and animals. Among plants it is used most notably by flowering plants. The pollen grains of flowers contain the sperm. The vase-shaped female reproductive organ in the base of the flower, or the pistil, contains the eggs.
