Answer:
Advantages and disadvantages:
The main issues are:
Advantages: More variation assists with survival.
Disadvantages: Requires two parents. So, supposing the total number of eggs to be the same, a population reproducing sexually would produce only half as many offspring as a population reproducing asexually.

A disadvantage is that sexual reproduction takes longer than asexual reproduction.
A mate must be found, the egg must be fertilised by sperm, and then the offspring develop.
The benefit of introducing genetic variation into the species , however, outweighs this disadvantage.
