Environments are constantly changing, so the organism must adapt. Sexual reproduction ensures genetic diversity in the progeny. If one or a few of the progeny have new traits that can help it survive in its changing environment, it is more likely to reach adulthood and reproduce.
If a species becomes isolated, or reproduces asexually it will not adapt to its environment, its traits will be exact copies of its parents and the species will eventually go extinct, that particular scenario only works in areas where the environment is stable and not subject to change.

Biodiversity needs the ability of a species to reproduce, because if a species cannot reproduce, there wouldn't be genetic diversity, in other words life cannot be produced

How is the chemical compositon of hydrothermal vents fluid different from surrounding sea water

ICE Princess25 [194]

$HEY THERE!!$

When seawater seeps down into the ocean crust and is heated by the magma, it undergoes lots of chemical reactions. When the fluid rises up through the seafloor, it carries many new chemicals with it, such as-- copper and zinc.
These chemical reactions also remove chemicals from the seawater, such as oxygen and magnesium.

So clearly vebtus fluid is different from sea water .
