Asexual reproduction results in the same genes being copied, which means the same vulnerabilities in the population.

Lack of genetic diversity from asexual reproduction results in a diminished ability to survive changes to the environment.

The statement that is most supportive of the claim that genetic diversity is an advantage of sexual reproduction is:
"Genetic variation from sexual reproduction ensures that at least some individuals will have advantageous traits that help them survive."
This statement directly emphasizes the benefit of genetic diversity resulting from sexual reproduction in enhancing survival through advantageous traits.
Yes, I am confident that the statement "Genetic variation from sexual reproduction ensures that at least some individuals will have advantageous traits that help them survive" is the most supportive of the claim that genetic diversity is an advantage of sexual reproduction. It highlights the role of genetic variation in increasing the likelihood of survival in changing environments, which is a key advantage of sexual reproduction compared to asexual reproduction, which produces genetically identical offspring.
