Advantages of Sexual Reproduction
- The new organisms or off-springs are not identical to each other nor to their parents. This variation allows for differential survival in different situations. If all organisms of a species is genetically the same, then they all survive or die together. However, with variation, unfavorable conditions may allow one organism in a species to be more fit than another organism of the same species.
- Seeds that are produced may be resistant to poor conditions e.g. drought. hence they can survive
- New plants may arise which for example have bigger seeds and so produce more food
- New kinds of animals might arise which again might produce better meat or more milk
Advantages of Asexual Reproduction
- Produces large numbers of offspring
- Offspring are identical to the parent and to each other (so a farmer can produce more 'copies' of a good plant.
- New organisms are produced quicker than in sexual reproduction
- It is essential in plants such as banana where seeds are not produced

What is the advantage of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction?
It is generally though that sexual recombination is the greatest advantage of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction. By recombining genes you get many variants that may have some members of the population resistant to some environmental challenge. Asexuality just gives clones.

What are the advantage and disadvantage of sexual and asexual reproduction?
Asexual reproduction does not lead to genetic variations while sexual reproduction leads to genetic variations. In asexual reproduction there is no limitation/restrictions for gametes to be fertilized.In sexual reproduction if either of the gametes do not function/not present then the possibility of reproduction becomes nil.Asexual reproduction gives rise to multiple daughter cells from mother cells while sexual reproduction normally gives rise to only two daughter cells.
