Sexual Reproduction

Advantages

  • Produces variation in the offspring - Darwin's Theory: pass on mutation, therefore they survive and breed and pass genes on to their offspring
  • If the environment changes, variation gives a survival advantage by natural selection
  • Negative mutations aren't always inherited
  • Natural selection can be sped up using selective breeding - to increase food production

Disadvantages

  • Needs two parents can be seen as a disadvantage - takes time

Evaluation

Overall, there are more advantages than disadvantages. However, if the criteria is to produce a large amount of medicine or a crop that produces a lot of food, this way of reproduction would not be beneficial.
