Question

What are the advantages of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction?

Answer 1

Sexual Reproduction:
1.It21 results in the combination of genetic material.
2.It11 creates variations and thus provide better survival advantage.
3.Nutrition of embryo is taken care of in the form of stored food materials in egg or through placenta.
Asexual Reproduction:
1.It21 does not result in the combination of genetic material.
2.It11 creates very-very little variations.
3.The new individuals formed may compete for basic needs and, therefore, only few are able to survive.

Answer 2

More variations are produced . Thus, it ensures survival of species in a population. The newly formed individual has features of both parents. Variations are more viable on sexual mode than in asexual mode.
