Some advantages of sexual reproduction include: (select all that apply)
genetic variation
improves chances of adapting to the environment
helps species survive catastrophes
it doesn't take as much energy as asexual reproduction
What are some disadvantages to sexual reproduction? (select all that apply)
it takes a lot of energy to find a mate
you don't need another mate
it requires a male and a female
more genetic errors can occur
What are some advantages of asexual reproduction are: (select all that apply)
it only requires one organism
it takes less energy than sexual reproduction
offspring are already well-adapted for the environment
there is a lot of genetic variety
Which type of reproduction is best.
Asexual, you only need one to make offspring.
Sexual, because it results in genetic variation.
Neither are important for a species to exist.
Both because each one has advantages and disadvantages.
