Sexual reproduction produces offspring with differences in DNA which can lead to mutations, often vital for a species survival....as compared to asexual producing clones of the parent. So lets say a disease hit a population of whatever it is, the clones would all be the same (obviously lol) and all die, compared to the population of sexually produced organisms which have differences in DNA and may have a imunity toward that disease and a few may survive and carry on that species.
Advantages - Evolution (long term), Survival (short-term)

What is the advantage of sexual reproduction if an organism is capable of reproducting asexually?
Sexual reproduction creates diversity, which in turn will increase the likelihood of survival for that population. By asexually reproducing, you eliminate these varieties and the population is more susceptible to death.
Asexually reproducing organisms pass on hereditary information as?
Asexually reproducing organisms pass on hereditary information through exact copies of their genetic material, such as through mitosis or budding. There is no genetic recombination or mixing of genetic material as seen in sexual reproduction.
Bacteria are organisms that reproduce asexually asexual reproduction can be an advantage to bacteria if it enables them to?
grow larger populations more quickly
Does meiosis occur in all growing organisms?
No, meiosis does not occur in all growing organisms. Meiosis is a specialized form of cell division that occurs in sexually reproducing organisms to produce gametes (eggs and sperm). Organisms that reproduce asexually, such as bacteria and some plants, do not undergo meiosis.
Can the organisms in the protista kingdom reproduce sexually or asexually?
i think asexually
Why is it particularly difficult for the systematist to classify asexually reproducing organisms as a species?
Asexually reproducing organisms do not interbreed
How do variation occur in asexually reproducing organisms?
Variation in asexually reproducing organisms can occur through mutations, which are random changes in the genetic material. Additionally, genetic recombination can occur through processes like gene transfer, leading to genetic diversity among the offspring. Environmental factors can also play a role in inducing variations in asexually reproducing organisms.
How do asexually reproducing organisms pass on hereditary information?

What advantage do sexually reproducing organisms have over asexually reproducing?
Sexual reproduction allows for twice the chance of an organisms offspring having a gene mutation, as the organisms DNA comes from two sources with differing genes. This increased chance means that the organism can evolve at a faster rate and therefore adapt more quickly, resulting in an advantage. The diversity in genetics of sexually reproducing organisms also reduces their susceptibility to mass infection / death. In addition, sexual reproduction is pleasurable in both humans and several primates, and this creates a stronger drive to reproduce.
Which organisms are reproducing asexually?
There are tons of organisms that reproduce asexually. As for ANIMALS - A lot of species of fish do (some sharks partake in parthenogenesis - a type of asexual reproduction), some species of wasps, whiptail lizards, sea anemones, coral, starfish, snails. All fungi, bacteria, Archaea, Protist and amoebas reproduce asexually. Some plants are capable of reproducing asexually, such as strawberry, onions and potatoes.

What is reproducing asexually?
Reproducing asexually is reproducing with one parent, and therefore creating two totally identical organisms. Bacteria, archaea, and a few other species reproduce asexually while plants, animals, fungi, and most protists reproduce sexually. Although plants may self-pollinate, this is not the same as asexually reproduction, because the offspring still may not be exactly like the parent because of genetics, so self-pollination is a type of sexual reproduction.
When do organisms go through the mitosis process?
mitosis in sexually reproducing organisms is used for growth into a multicellular organism from the initial zygote. mitosis is also used for repair in response to a wound, etc. mitosis is used in asexually reproducing organisms for reproduction.the whole process
What will an organism that reproduces asexually have an offspring as?
The offspring of an organism that reproduces asexually will be a genetic clone of the parent, carrying identical genetic material. This means that there is no genetic variation in the offspring, which can limit their ability to adapt to changing environments compared to sexually reproducing organisms.
Bacteria are organisms that reproduce asexually asexual reproduction can be an advantage to bacteria if it enables them to?
grow larger populations more quickly
