In what situations might the genetic variations that result from sexual reproducion be better than asexual reproduction?

Sexual reproduction creates variations in species. This creates immunity.
Asexual reproduction does not do this and just clones. The organisms splits its DNA in two. Stick insects are one example. This is a problem if a disease is in one Stick insect then there is a large risk that the hole population will die

So if you were trying to preserve genetics then you would want reproduction done by asexual reproduction so that the offspring would have the identical genetics from the parent that you are trying to preserve.

Is both of sexual and asexual have genetic variations?
Yes, there will always be mutations.However, with sexual reproduction, there is a tendency for greater genetic variations.
What is the other name of asexual reproduction?
The scientific name for asexual reproduction is asexual reproduction!!!!!!!!!!!!!!DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH
Large variations in a crop may be developed by employing asexual reproduction true or false?
False --- It is actually true. For example, the Thompson seedless grapes you would find in California and Arizona are really the result of asexual reproduction from the 1900s.
What reproduction by one parent is called asexual reproduction?
ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION NEEDS ONLY ONE PARENT.
What is fragmentation sexual or asexual reproduction?
Asexual
What are the genetic variations with asexual reproduction?
sex is always the answer.
Does sexual or asexual reproduction result in variations of the offspring?
Yes
What is asexual reproducion?
From Wikipedia: "Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction by which offspring arise from a single parent, and inherit the genes of that parent only, it is reproduction which does not involve meiosis, ploidy reduction, or fertilization."It essentially means that one organism can "split" into two offspring. Bacteria are a classic case of asexual reproduction. In their case, the actual process of asexual reproduction is known as Binary Fission.Although Wikipedia is not the best source for academia, the article below(Sources and related links) gives a great overview of asexual reproduction.
Why is there great variations in the offspring produced through sexual reproduction but little or no variations in the offspring produced through asexual reproduction?
In asexual reproduction there is no independent orientation of chromosomes, not crossing over and no random fertilization. Cloning the exact genetic material from organism to progeny is all asexual reproduction is. So, very little chance of anything but mutation, copying errors, are going to happen in asexual reproduction.
How animals look when compared to their parents in asexual reproduction?
they look alike with no variations.
What are the advantage and disadvantage of sexual and asexual reproduction?
Asexual reproduction does not lead to genetic variations while sexual reproduction leads to genetic variations. In asexual reproduction there is no limitation/restrictions for gametes to be fertilized.In sexual reproduction if either of the gametes do not function/not present then the possibility of reproduction becomes nil.Asexual reproduction gives rise to multiple daughter cells from mother cells while sexual reproduction normally gives rise to only two daughter cells.

What type of reproduction produces more variations within a population sexual or asexual?
Sexual.

Yes, there will always be mutations.However, with sexual reproduction, there is a tendency for greater genetic variations.
Do protists hsve an asexual reproduction?
no they do not "hsve" asexual reproduction they "have" asexual reproduction...
What type of reproduction that only require one parent?
asexual. its what plants do
