Disadvantages:

Mutations may occur

Not as rapid and efficient as other forms of reproduction (eg binary fission)

Answer 2

• it requires more energy. because Sexual reproduction requires more energy than asexual reproduction.

An organism that reproduces sexually needs to find a suitable mate and donate enough reproductive cells to ensure that fertilization takes place. For many organisms, this requires a large devotion of time and energy.
