Sexual reproduction produces genetic variation. Why could that be seen as a benefit? (1 point)
By appearing different from others, individuals are better able to attract a mate and stand out from the
crowd.
Variation could lead to traits that increase an individual's ability to survive, so it can reproduce and pass on its genes.
New combinations make for different-looking organisms, so individuals are different and can easily be identified as unique.
Having individuals that look different allows predators to target specific individuals, which is beneficial for those that are not targeted.
