How does sexual reproduction through the process of meiosis affect the variation of organisms compared to asexual reproduction?

Sexual reproduction is great asset to the nature. In asexual reproduction you will get the exact replica of the original organism. You will get the new type of organism by chance only. In sexual reproduction, you get the new types of organism, almost invariably. Half of the chromosomes come from the female and half of the chromosomes come from the male. That happens through the process of meiosis. There is random assortment of the chromosomes. You can have numerous types of progeny. The better progeny is produced. so the nature is doing only one business. Nature wants better and still better progeny. After you produce the offsprings, nature loses interest in you.


How the genetic monotony overcome by the sexual reproduction?
