Selective breeding or cross breeding. when animals are mated together because of there features such as a cow that produces a lot of milk and a bull that produces a high quality meat will end up with a calf that produces a lot of milk and high quality meat

This process produces offspring that are better able to cope with changes in the environment?
asexual reproduction
Offspring that are the result of sexual reproduction are?
Better adapted to the environment due new genetic combinations by crossing over.
Why is sexual reproduction better than asexual reproduction for ensuring survival of a species in a changing environment?
Yes. Sexual reproduction is more advantageous than asexual reproduction in a challenging environment since sexual reproduction introduces more variation in the offspring. In asexual reproduction, the variation in offspring is caused by mutations and they are rare and a large number of offspring will have to be produced to ensure enough offspring with beneficial mutations are born, and this is not always possible when resources are scarce. In sexual reproduction, variation is introduced by recombination in addition to mutation, and recombination (random crossover of chromosomes) happens in every time the organism reproduces to introduce variation that may not be present in the parents. The greater amount of variation increases the chance of having offspring that are adapted to the challenging environment.
Why is it beneficial for organisms to produce sexually and asexually?
Sexual reproduction allows for genetic diversity. This may be helpful to allow an organism to better adapt to its environment. Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are identical to the parent. This may be helpful in that the offspring are born already adapted to the environment. If there is suddenly a shortage of one sex for a species (ex. 90% of males are wiped out due to illness), to prevent the species from dying out, it would be handy if the organism could reproduce without a mate.
Is Sexual or asexual reproduction better for a rapidly changing environment?
Sexual. Sex allows for more variation in offspring thus increasing the chances for survival.
An animal that reproduces sexually may survive a hostile environment better than an animal that reproduces asexually because sexual reproduction?

What type of reproduction enables evolution?
sexual reproduction because asexual reproduction results in an organism that is identical to the parent cell which does not allow for diversity. diversity allows for evolution. sexual reproduction results in offspring that are not identical and may contain traits that are better adapted to survive in their environment.
Does Sexual reproduction contributes to genetic diversity in offspring than asexual?
yes!:) better be happy i answer this!!
What is deference between asexual and sexual reproduction in animals?
Asexual organisms can produce offspring on their own,a plants arm falling off and the arm turns into a plant is a example of this.Sexual organisms need a partner to produce offspring,humans are a example of sexual reproducers.
What is the advantages of sexual reproductive?
You can transmit new genetic improvements to your offspring. For example, if there is a sudden famine, a species that produces sexually instead of asexually will be better able to have future generations adapt faster.
Sexual reproduction in complex organisms?
Although sexual reproduction involves more time and energy, higher organisms have resorted to sexual reproduction in spite of its complexity. This is because this mode of reproduction helps introduce new variations in progenies through the combination of the DNA from two (usually) different individuals. These variations allow the individual to cope with various environmental conditions and thus, make the organism better suited for the environment. Variations also lead to the evolution of better organisms and therefore, provide better chances of survival. On the other hand, asexual reproduction does not provide genetic differences in the individuals produced.princer66.webgarden.com
Why an r-strategist might be better suited for an unpredictable environment than a k-strategist is?
An r-strategist produces more offspring, which can spread quite easily. In his way it can ensure a greater chance that at least some of t's offspring will survive, despite the possibility of environmental disturbances.
