Sexual reproduction creates genetic diversity, which results in a wide range of appearances in a population.
Genetic variation from sexual reproduction ensures that at least some individuals will have advantageous traits that help them survive.

Question 11
11. Which of the following statements accurately describes the key differences between asexual and sexual reproduction?(1 point)
Responses
Asexual reproduction involves two parents contributing genetic material, while sexual reproduction involves a single parent cloning itself.
Asexual reproduction involves two parents contributing genetic material, while sexual reproduction involves a single parent cloning itself.
Asexual reproduction produces genetically identical offspring, while sexual reproduction results in genetically diverse offspring through the combination of genetic material from two parents.
Asexual reproduction produces genetically identical offspring, while sexual reproduction results in genetically diverse offspring through the combination of genetic material from two parents.
Asexual reproduction is slower than sexual reproduction, which is always faster due to the involvement of two parents.
Asexual reproduction is slower than sexual reproduction, which is always faster due to the involvement of two parents.
Both asexual and sexual reproduction create offspring that are genetically identical to the parents.
Both asexual and sexual reproduction create offspring that are genetically identical to the parents.
Question 12
12. How does genetic variation from sexual reproduction help the bird species survive after the loss of its bug food source?(1 point)
Responses
It ensures that all individuals will have the same traits, making the population uniform.
