Actually, sexual reproduction can increase survival of the overall population by creating diversity. It is more effective over asexual reproduction.

This is the basis behind evolution. By having individuals genetically different some will survive.

If the offspring would inherit a lethal or semi-lethal gene, that offspring would not survive.

What selective advantages drove the development of sexual reproduction and how did it develop?

Asexual reproduction produces organisms that are exactly identical or clones of each other. This leaves these organisms subject to total destruction if one can be affected all can be affected. Sexual reproduction was favored because each individual in a species is slightly different. If a disease occurred in the species, there would be a good chance that some would survive.


What is a conjunction in biology?

Conjuntion in biology is a form of sexual reproduction. In Conjuction the two organisms exchange DNA the same reason we would to create something that could be better suited to its environment. If it didnt do this and its environment changed it would not be able to survive so in order to continue its survival chance it needs to create a new organism to hopefully survive the new environment.


What advantage do sexually reproducing organisms have over asexually reproducin?

Sexual reproduction produces offspring with differences in DNA which can lead to mutations, often vital for a species survival....as compared to asexual producing clones of the parent. So lets say a disease hit a population of whatever it is, the clones would all be the same (obviously lol) and all die, compared to the population of sexually produced organisms which have differences in DNA and may have a imunity toward that disease and a few may survive and carry on that species. Advantages - Evolution (long term), Survival (short-term)

Adaptation is a trait or structure that improves an organism's chance for survival and reproduction. Benthos is organisms that live on or near the ocean bottom, sometimes attached to surfaces.

When does competition decrease the size of population?

Survival of the fittest ! The strongest specimens will get the 'lions share' of food and mates. The weaker ones will starve and be denied the chance to breed.
