The evolution of sexual reproduction describes how sexually reproducing animals, plants, fungi and protists evolved from a common ancestor that was a single celled eukaryotic species.[1][2][3] There are a few species which have secondarily lost the ability to reproduce sexually, such as Bdelloidea, and some plants and animals that routinely reproduce asexually (by apomixis and parthenogenesis) without entirely losing sex. The evolution of sex contains two related, yet distinct, themes: its origin and its maintenance.
The maintenance of sexual reproduction in a highly competitive world has long been one of the major mysteries of biology given that asexual reproductioncan reproduce much more quickly because 50% of offspring from sexual reproduction are males, unable to produce offspring themselves.
