Well, if an organism reproduces asexually then it only has the genetic information from itself to use in creating a new organism. With sexual reproduction, the organism has the genetic information from more than one organism to use, which produces more varied organisms, and it becomes more varied the more different genetic information is used over generations.

∙ 9y agoSexual reproduction results in genetic variation by combining two organisms genes. Also this can cause genetic variation through mutations of the DNA.

What are some advantages for sexual reproduction?
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
Which process in the water cycle is caused by an increase in temperature?
Evaporation is the process in the water cycle caused by an increase in temperature.
When the cell begins to synthesize genetic material?
In the S phase of the cell cycle.
In the S phase of the cell cycle the cell?
Synthesis. The replication of the genetic material basically.
Compare the haploid life cycle found in chlamydomonas with a diploid life cycle?
Haploid = Asexual Reproduction Diploid = Sexual Reproduction
How does the sexual life cycle increase the genetic variation in a species?
The sexual life cycle increases the genetic variation in a species by allowing independent assortment of chromosomes, random fertilization, and crossing over to occur.

Relationship between food intake and genetic with hemoglobin cycle?
relationship between food intake,genetic and haemoglobin cycle
Does random fertilization lead to genetic variation?
yes they do. that is because when the sperm fuses with he egg, there are millions af sperm and it is highly highly unlikely that the same sperm containing the same genetic information will fuse with the same egg each time. different sperms have different genetic material in them. same with the eggs. thus their probabilities are way too low that it is impossible that one offspring looks like the other therefore leading to genetic variation. hope that helps
What are the three main functions of estrogen?
It maintains the menstruation cycle. It develops secondary sexual characteristics. It also develops sexual organs.
What is the sexual positon 53?

What are the names of the cycle of a plant?
The life cycle of plants may be of two types. Sexual cycle of reproduction and Asexual cycle of reproduction.

What is a variation in heart rate during the breathing cycle calle?
sinus dysrhythmia
Is tinea corposis or dermatophytes asexual or sexual?
Like most fungi, they go throught an assexual and a sexual cycle. The purpose of the sexual cycle being evolution and the purpose of the assexual being reproduction only.
What are the names of the cycle of a plants life?
The life cycle of plants may be of two types. Sexual cycle of reproduction and Asexual cycle of reproduction.
