Answered by GPT-5 mini AI
Greater genetic variation among offspring. Sexual reproduction (through meiosis and fertilization) shuffles and recombines alleles, producing new gene combinations that increase the chance some offspring will survive changing environments or resist diseases and parasites. This also helps purge harmful mutations over generations, enabling faster evolutionary adaptation than asexual reproduction.
