Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -During sexual reproduction the genetic material of two individuals is combined to produce genetically diverse offspring that differ from their parents. The genetic diversity of sexually produced offspring is thought to give species a better chance of surviving in an unpredictable or changing environment.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sexual reproduction increases genetic variability. This is advantageous for producing new offspring that will be differentially resistant to pathogens and have less chance of inheriting genetic diseases.
