For creatures whose primary reproductive strategy is to produce a huge numbers of copies, such as bacteria, sexual reproduction isn't as viable. The main advantage would be speed in which new individuals are generated perhaps, whereas a huge disadvantage is that the genepool of species is kept relatively poor in terms of variablilty.

What is the advantage of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction?
It is generally though that sexual recombination is the greatest advantage of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction. By recombining genes you get many variants that may have some members of the population resistant to some environmental challenge. Asexuality just gives clones.
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.
Are protozoan capable of asexual or sexual reproduction?
Asexual
How is a species benefited by having a life cycle that includes both sexual and asexual reproduction?
Sexual reproduction is highly beneficial as it provides a means for beneficial genes to be rapidly shared through-out a species. You could look at it as a sort of communal evolution where one favourable trait can be extended to the whole of the species within a 'short' period of time. Sexual creatures are also (by virtue of their reproductive scheme) able to keep a sort of catalogue of genetic traits handy should conditions suddenly change and quick evolution be required. In asexual reproduction a favourable mutation would be the beginnings of a new species and would benefit only the direct descendants of the original mutation. Asexual reproduction however would allow a single individual to have children if isolated or unable to meet the precise conditions for mating. It frees the asexual reproducer from the cost of maintaining sexual equipment and reproductive scheduling, often a considerable expense. For these reasons asexual species are often robust and survivalists.
Which of the following is an advantage of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction?
It is generally though that sexual recombination is the greatest advantage of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction. By recombining genes you get many variants that may have some members of the population resistant to some environmental challenge. Asexuality just gives clones.
What advantage does sexual reproduction confer upon a species?
The principal advantage that sexual reproduction confers upon a species is the continued existence of that species. If a species does not reproduce, it will die out.
Is sea horse reproduction asexual or sexual?
They are sexual..Both sexes are found in the species.
What is advantage of asexual reproduction over sexual reproduction?
It is generally though that sexual recombination is the greatest advantage of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction. By recombining genes you get many variants that may have some members of the population resistant to some environmental challenge. Asexuality just gives clones.
What are the differences between species that require sexual reproduction and species that require asexual reproduction?
ones a hore and the others not
Does a fish carry out both sexual and asexual reproduction?
No, a fish typically reproduces through sexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction is not common in fish species.
The ability to rapidly reproduce is an advantage of?
its eather asexual reproducton or sexual reproduction
What advantage might asexual repoduction by fission have over sexual reproduction?
C
What is the main advantage of sexual reproduction compared to asexual reproduction?
The main advantage of sexual reproduction compared to asexual reproduction is genetic diversity. Sexual reproduction involves the combination of genetic material from two parents, resulting in offspring with unique genetic traits. This diversity can increase the chances of survival and adaptation to changing environments.
What is some ways that new species form?
Mitosis, Meiosis, Asexual reproduction and Sexual reproduction
What is the advantage of asexual reproductio?
i am assuming you mean asexual reproduction and it is that it is much fast than sexual reproduction.
What are the two forms of repoduction?
Reproduction occurs in two main types sexual and asexual. Asexual is the reproduction in which involves only one individual from a species. Most Asexual reproduction occur in single cell organisms. Example of asexual reproduction can be found in self pollinating plants. Sexual reproduction occurs when two individuals trade genetic information to produce a new individual for a species.
What is the advantage of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction?
It is generally though that sexual recombination is the greatest advantage of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction. By recombining genes you get many variants that may have some members of the population resistant to some environmental challenge. Asexuality just gives clones.
