Answer: sexual= genetic diversity (pro), requires gametes (con)
asexual reproduction= rapid population growth (pro), no genetic diversity (con)
Step-by-step explanation:
For sexual reproduction, genetic diversity is important because it can strengthen species against diseases, as well as help species evolve. Genetic diversity is the inherited traits of an organism. Gametes, or sex cells, are the sperm (male) and egg (female) sex cells. This process takes time and energy. In sexual reproduction, each parent 'donates' half their genes to the offspring, but in asexual reproduction, the parent is able to donate all of their genes to the offspring, not needing a partner.
In asexual reproduction, species are able to reproduce at a faster rate. But there is also no genetic diversity, since there only needs to be one parent involved, and that parent donates all their genes to their offspring.
