Sexual Reproduction is superior to asexual reproduction mainly for the reason that it involves gametes from two different individuals. This improves chances of variations which is the basis of heredity and evolution. In asexual reproduction, only one parent's gamete is involved. Thus the offspring is liable to have all the characteristics ( and defects) of the parent which doesnot allow variation.

What is the difference of sexual and asexual propagation?
Sexual reproduction requires two parties, whereas asexual reproduction requires only one. For example, reproduction among humans is not asexual, because there must be both a man and a woman involved. Bacterial reproduction however IS asexual because it reproduces by itself through binary fusion.
What is it called when offspring are produced from two parents?
I believe you are thinking of sexual reproduction. The opposite of sexual reproduction is asexual reproduction which occurs when offspring are produced without a male. Asexual reproduction is common among certain plants and single-celled organisms like bacteria and protists. Some species of animal can switch back and forth between sexual and asexual reproduction. Turkeys are a good example of this. Female turkeys can produce fertilized eggs in the absence of a male. Aphids are also capable of producing young in the absence of a male.
This is some barrier to reproduction among a species of organisms It often results in genetic change over time and the development of new species?
reproductive isolation
Differences between sexual and asexual reproduction?
Sexual Reproduction : When two organisms have sex to reproduce. Example : humans, mammals, etc. Asexual Reproduction : When it's only one organism reproducing without the help of another organism. Example : Flowers, Some plants, even some fish. Hope that helped :)
Who among the organism reproduce sexual and asexual?
Some organisms reproduce by sexual reproduction (such as horses, cattle, donkeys etc.) and some others reproduce asexually (such as bacteria) So it depends on what organisms you are talking about.
Is it true that Sexual reproduction leads to very little variety among organisms of the same species?
No, sexual reproduction increases variety among organisms of the same species.
Which statement is not included as a part of the modern theory of evolution?
sexual reproduction and mutations provide variation among species
The primary biological importance of sexual reproduction in an organism is that it?
i don't know :P <---- This guys an a**hole. Its to promote genetic variability among offspring. (A)
Is sexual reproduction among plants common?
yes.
Mention 2 ways by which hydra can reproduce-?
Asexual and sexual reproduction, two methods of reproduction among animals, produce.
What type of reproduction do Osteichthyes have?
The reproduction among organisms in Osteichthyes varies greatly, but is all sexual reproduction with separate sexes.

What type of reproduction occurs among human being?
Reproduction may be aseual or sexual. In asexual reproduction, a single individual produces another by itself.
In what way is conjunction a primitive from of sexual reproduction?
Conjugation is a primitive form of sexual reproduction since two parent cells are involved.
Differential natural from artificial vegetative propagation?
rtificial propagation (def.): Reproduction of biological tissues via human intervention, usually under carefully controlled environmental conditions, but in the absence of the usual (generally sexual) modes of reproduction. Vegetative reproduction can be performed artificially, a common practice among horticulturists, but much vegetative reproduction occurs naturally without human involvement. Furthermore, artificial propagation can be achieved among both animal and plant species, whereas vegetative reproduction only occurs in plants. Artificial propagation is commonly used to increase the populations of endangered species, often via artificial insemination.
What causes continuous variation in humans?
There is variation among humans because of sexual reproduction, crossing over, assortment, and mutations.
