• 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.

Answer 2

Answer:

Advantages and disadvantages of sexual and asexual reproduction

Sexual reproduction involves two parents and the joining of male and female gametes during fertilisation. 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

a disease is less likely to affect all the individuals in a population

In asexual reproduction there is only one parent. The offspring are clones of the parent and each other.

The advantages of asexual reproduction include:

the population can increase rapidly when the conditions are favourable

only one parent is needed

it is more time and energy efficient as you don't need a mate

it is faster than sexual reproduction

The disadvantages of sexual reproduction:

time and energy are needed to find a mate

it is not possible for an isolated individual to reproduce

The disadvantages of asexual reproduction include:

it does not lead to genetic variation in a population

the species may only be suited to one habitat

disease may affect all the individuals in a population.
