If you're referring to "sexual reproduction" and the theory of evolution, then yes.
It plays a major part in the evolution of organisms which use it, as it offers major advantages.

Does asexual reproduction increase the chances of natural selection?
No, it doesn't. It doesn't help to form new species since the offspring are clones and exactly the same.
What is three reasons why a sexual reproduction is beneficial?
genetic diversity more efficient natural selection
Asexual reproduction increases genetic variation-the raw material on which natural selection operates?
Asexual reproduction decreases genetic variation which is the raw material on which natural selection operates. This is because asexual reproduction produces identical offspring to the parent.
Which of these is necessary for natural selection to occur genetic engeneering genetic variation asexual reproduction or enviormental stability?
Genetic variation
What is a beneficial feature that evolved by means of natural selection?
Your brain is one of the most important human features evolved by natural selection. ( perhaps sexual selection also had something to do with it )
Successful reproduction is the fourth step of?
The fourth step of the successful reproduction is the natural selection
Successful reproduction is the fourth step of selection?
the 4th step of natural selection
What are the phases of Natural Selection?
The four stages are: Overproduction, Genetic Variation, Struggle to Survive, and Successful Reproduction
Is speciation a sub-process to natural selection?
Yes and so are successful reproduction and the struggle to survive.
What is the key to natural selection?
successful reproduction that makes sense because with out reproduction they're wouldn't be anyone else there besides the thing that tried to reproduce dies
How does selection affect natural selection?
Organisms are affected by Natural Selection because Inherited characteristics affected the likelihood of an organism's survival and reproduction.
Another word for Differential success in reproduction?
Natural Selection!
Does asexual reproduction increase the chances of natural selection?
No, it doesn't. It doesn't help to form new species since the offspring are clones and exactly the same.
How is natural selection important?
Natural selection is important because it changes the way we cope(live) in our enviornment.
Why are variations in a species needed for natural selection to occur?
What would be selected if organisms did not have differences that lead to better survival and reproduction, or the opposite. That is all natural selection is.
What is the 4 main points of natural selection?
natural selection (4 tenants) -genetic variation -overproduction of offspring -struggle for existence (competition) -differential survival and reproduction
Why are mutations are important for evolution?
Mutations serve up the variations in organisms to natural selection. The reproductively successful variations pass on these successful traits to progeny and allele frequencies change because of this and this is evolution.
