A species has to adjust rapidly to a changing environment. Mitosis relies solely on mutations which, due to the high rate of reproduction imparted by such a simple system, do occur regularly but there is less room for adaption as the organism is mostly stuck with variations on one set of genes - most of which will be fatal.
