Sexual reproduction allows for twice the chance of an organisms offspring having a gene mutation, as the organisms DNA comes from two sources with differing genes. This increased chance means that the organism can evolve at a faster rate and therefore adapt more quickly, resulting in an advantage.

The diversity in genetics of sexually reproducing organisms also reduces their susceptibility to mass infection / death.

In addition, sexual reproduction is pleasurable in both humans and several primates, and this creates a stronger drive to reproduce.

Sexually-reproducing species have an advantage over asexually-reproducing species in their ability to?

Sexually-reproducing species have an advantage over asexually-reproducing species in their ability to produce genetically diverse offspring, which can help them adapt to changing environments and resist diseases more effectively. Additionally, sexual reproduction can help remove harmful mutations from the gene pool through processes like genetic recombination.

What is reproducing asexually?

Reproducing asexually is reproducing with one parent, and therefore creating two totally identical organisms. Bacteria, archaea, and a few other species reproduce asexually while plants, animals, fungi, and most protists reproduce sexually. Although plants may self-pollinate, this is not the same as asexually reproduction, because the offspring still may not be exactly like the parent because of genetics, so self-pollination is a type of sexual reproduction.
