Question

Offspring produced due to sexual reproduction have better chances of Survival why? Is this statement always true?

Answer 1

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

❤. Offspring formed by sexual reproduction show genetic variation, variations enable these organisms to survive better under unfavourable conditions.

❤. In lower organisms like algae and fungi, sexual reproduction occurs at the end of favourable season and the zygote formed develops a thick wall and remains dormant during unfavourable conditions.

❤. This statement is not always true because offspring produced by oviparous animals with external fertilization are vulnerable to predators and the Harsh environmental conditions.

⭕ Offspring formed due to sexual reproduction have better chances of survival. Why? Is this statement always true?

$\Huge{\mathfrak{\blue{\underline{ANSWER}}}}$

➡️ Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of the male and the female gamete.

➡️ This fusion allows the formation of new variants by the combination of the DNA from two (usually) different members of the species.

➡️ The variations allow the individuals to adapt under varied environmental conditions for better chances of survival.

➡️ However, it is not always necessary that the offspring produced due to sexual reproduction has better chances of survival.

➡️ Under some circumstances, asexual reproduction is more advantageous for certain organisms.

➡️ For example, some individuals who do not move from one place to another and are well settled in their environment.

➡️ Also, asexual reproduction is a fast and a quick mode of reproduction which does not consume much time and energy as compared to sexual reproduction.
