Sexual reproduction provides genetic variation to plants to help them survive in a changing environment.
Explanation: sexual reproduction mixes genes and creates diverse offspring, which increases the chance some will survive changing conditions. Asexual reproduction’s main advantage is skipping the need for a mate, but it produces genetically identical offspring, so it’s less useful when the environment changes.
