Why does sexually reproducing species have better chances of survival?
Answers
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. THANK YOU.

in sexually reproducing species there is more variation and we know that the more variation present the better chance of surviving in an environment
eg : lets take a particular niche suppose in that area is a natural calamity and most of the people in that niche die whereas there are some people who survive . this proves that the people who survived have a slightly better variation and hence helps in the evolution of species .
therefore we can justify this by saying sexually reproducing organisms have better chances of survival
