Answers
Answer:
This Statement is true for only for cases of internal fertilization ( that takes place inside female parent's body)
Explanation:
This due to the fusion of both gametes which cause the offspring to bear characteristics of both parents and hence the offspring is more adaptable to its surrounding .
Thus chances of survival are more in sexual reproduction vis 'a' vis Asexual reproduction .
Answer:
Sexual reproduction is said to occur when two gametes fuse. This leads to the production of the offspring that are genetic variants of the parents, and therefore, are able to survive better.
However, the organisms produced by sexual reproduction do not always survive more than those produced by asexual reproduction. Sometimes, the organisms produced by asexual reproduction survive better than those produced by sexual reproduction. Also, it is a fairly quick process and consumes less energy and time.
