What are the advantages of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction?

• Sexual reproduction results in new genetic variations which promotes diversity of characters which is not possible in case of asexual reproduction.

• Sexual reproduction plays an important role in the origin of new species having different characteristic which is again not possible in case of asexual reproduction.


• It introduces variability, which leads to continual evolution of various species to form better organisms. Evolution is not possible in case of asexual reproduction.
