Detailed explanation-1: -The advantages of sexual reproduction: it produces variation in the offspring. the species can adapt to new environments due to variation, which gives them a survival advantage. a disease or change in environment is less likely to affect all the individuals in a population.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sexual reproduction promotes genetic variability, thereby increasing the probability that an individual with new combinations of favorable traits may arise.
Detailed explanation-3: -Advantages of sexual reproduction arise from genetic recombination in cross-fertilisation, which purges deleterious mutation and increases genetic variability in the population [8-10], enhancing adaptation in a changing environment.
Detailed explanation-4: -Sexual reproduction produces a new combination of genes in the offspring that may better enable them to survive changes in the environment and assist in the survival of the species.
