What are some advantages for sexual reproduction?

Answer 1

keeps plants life cycle alive

^what the heck kind of answer is that?!? go educate yourself on plant sex!

plants can produce both asexually and sexually, and advantages of sexual reproduction are:

-genetic variation (genetic uniformity of asexual plants puts them at risk for extinction if a catastrophic event occured, i.e. climate change or a new strain of disease)

-seeds produced by sexual reproduction can be dispersed to more locations and grow in more favorable environments

-seed dormancy allows the plant to survive until bad environment conditions are reversed

Answer 2

The main benefit of sexual reproduction is the ability to fight off bacteria and viruses. If a bacteria can get into one offspring, and you have cloned yourself (asexual reproduction) all of your offspring are at risk. Sexual reproduction causes variation- it shuffles the deck so to speak- and creates barriers.

Answer 3

The benefits of sexual reproduction are:

• Mixture of genes
• Natural Variation
• Production of many different gene combinations

The disadvantages of sexual reproduction are:

• Relies on the sex cells meeting
• It takes longer
• Normally one is produced at one time.

Answer 4

Sexual reproduction allows for genetic diversity. From an evolutionary standpoint, this allows for survival of the fittest, in which the best fit traits will continue to survive and reproduce while the less fit will die off. In this case, a population will only contain the best fit organisms for a specific environment.
