Question

Why is sexual reproduction critical to the process of evolution?

Group of answer choices

sexual reproduction results in offspring with more genetic variety than asexual reproduction

sexual reproduction produces stronger organisms than asexual reproduction

sexual reproduction can produce more offspring than asexual reproduction

sexual reproduction results in organisms that are genetically identical to their parents.

Answer 1

Answer: Option A.

Sexual reproduction result in offsprings with more genetic variety that asexual reproduction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sexual reproduction is a process where to haploid gametes join and exchange genetic material to produce diploid offsprings different from their parents. Sexual reproduction leads to production of diverse organisms with variation in characteristics. Sexual reproduction is thought to be an early evolution innovation. Sexual reproduction produce offsprings with different genetic materials which make the to survive in changing environment. No singe organisms(asexual reproduction) can progress for a long time because genetic variation in progeny of sexually produced offsprings, these genetic variation make them to adapt and improve in their environment which asexual produced offsprings cannot.

Answer 2

sexual reproduction results in offspring with more genetic variety than asexual reproduction.

Step-by-step explanation:

The offspring from sexual reproduction are all genetically unique and the combination of two individuals genetic materials produces a diverse offspring distinct from their parents. Due to this offsprings produced from sexual reproduction may have a more successful survival and better adaptation to environmental changes than offsprings from asexual reproduction because they produce identical offsprings.
