Answer:

because it increases the gene pool

Step-by-step explanation:

So sexual reproduction requires two organisms, a male and a female, and their offspring has a combination of both of the parents, this varies the gene pool. Then the offspring creates more offspring, further varying the gene pool.

hope this helps:)

Step-by-step explanation:

The process of sexual reproduction introduces variation into the species because the alleles that the mother and the father carry are mixed together in the offspring. ... A mate must be found, the egg must be fertilised by sperm, and then the offspring develop.
