What are the advantages and disadvantages of both sexual and asexual reproduction? What will be an ideal response?
Concepts to Consider: Sexual--new genetic combinations may be advantageous in unstable
environments. It is more costly since gametes must meet and may produce individuals that
are less well adapted to changing environments. Asexual--offspring are genetically identical
to the parent, so if they are well adapted to the environment, all parents and offspring have an
equally good chance of survival. If they are not well adapted to the environment, then they
may all die
