Why is sexual reproduction is better than asexual reproduction?

Hey mate
______________________________
⏩This is better than asexual reproduction becoz ....
□ they produce offspring that have a new combination of DNA .
□ In this, genetic variation occur in all organisms that reproduce sexually .
Dear:( hope its helps ☺
Answer:
It is the phenomenon of formation of young ones or offspring through the process of formation of haploid gametes, their fusion and the growth of resultant diploid zygotes. Sexual reproduction is also called syngenesis (Gk. syn-together, genesis-origin), amphimixis (Gk. amphi-both, mixis-union) or amphigony. As compared to asexual reproduction, it is more elaborate, complex but slow process.
Merits of Sexual Reproduction
Organisms spend a lot of their resources and energy in the formation of sex organs, sex cells, their fertilization and development of young ones in order to provide some benefits for their race.
- Uniformity of population : There is flow of genes amongst individuals of a population during sexual reproduction. New mutations or variations do not remain restricted to a few individuals. They ultimately pass into the whole population through sexual reproduction.
- Vigour and vitality : Mixing of genes during sexual reproduction maintains the vigour and vitality of the entire population.
- Variations : Because of sexual reproduction, no two individuals are exactly similar. The differences help in recognition of the individuals. Variations developed during sexual reproduction provide competitiveness to individuals. They have adaptability to changes in environment.
- Evolution : Variations produced in sexual reproduction form the basis of evolution.
- Caring of young ones : By instinct or by natural evolution, the young ones produced during sexual reproduction are protected during their vulnerable stages. It is carried out by parental care in most animals. There is protection provided to early growth in most plants prior to their establishment of new individuals.
