Which is better mode of reproduction sexual or asexual and why?

Asexual reproduction is favourable if horizontal gene transfer can make up for the lack of diversity within species. Horizontal gene transfer is when two mature organisms can switch or share different genes. (Many bacteria and archea can do this) Horizontal gene transfer is quite difficult for multi-cellular organisms, so sexual reproduction is preferable. The goal of reproduction is to create offspring that will survive in changing environment - so there must be a mechanism to create many different kinds of offspring. Sexual reproduction affords this. However - the optimal form of reproduction is to have the choice to reproduce either asexually and sexually. If there is a disaster (for humans) or a new antibiotic (for bacteria) it may be preferable to reproduce asexually for a while if no other similar species are around. Later, when the population is big enough, sexual reproduction can begin to recover genetic diversity. (I am assuming that clones don't reproduce with themselves the whole time). This may be the new and improved 'bisexual' of the future.

What do you understand by the phrase different cost for different purpose?

The phrase "different cost for different purpose" refers to the idea that the costs associated with a product or service can vary based on its intended use or context. For instance, a company might incur different costs for manufacturing a product for mass production versus a custom order, reflecting variations in materials, labor, and overhead. This concept highlights the importance of considering the specific objectives and requirements behind expenditures, as they can significantly influence budgeting and financial planning.

Why is the cost of reproduction different for males and females?

The cost of reproduction is different for males and females because they have different biological roles in reproduction. Females invest more energy and resources in producing eggs and carrying offspring, while males typically invest less in producing sperm. This difference in investment leads to different costs associated with reproduction for males and females.

How do you stop rabbits breeding?

When you have separated the males from the females, then you have hindered their breeding. The vet can also sterilize the females and the males, but this cost money and is an utmost permanent solution. I am unsure, but I think you can get certain pills for your female rabbit so that she does not get pregnant. Ask your preferred vet regarding this.
