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: -This is because, in asexual reproduction, the only single parent gives rise to another offspring which is exactly similar to the parent as it passes its genetic material to the offspring. So, there are no chances of inducing variations in progeny and so their environmental adaptability remains low.
Detailed explanation-3: -The product of sexual reproduction are seeds. Seeds produced through fertilization contain genetic material from both parents. As a result, the offspring are not genetically identical to either of the parent plants. This genetic diversity can help them survive if the environment changes.
