Advantages of sexual reproduction:

  •  In sexual reproduction, more variations are produced. Thus, it ensures survival of species in a population.
  •  The new formed individual has characteristics of both the parents.
  •  Variations are more viable in sexual mode than in asexual one. This is because in asexual reproduction, DNA has to function inside the inherited cellular apparatus.
