Greater genetic diversity, compared to asexual reproduction.
If you think about it, this makes sense because in asexual reproduction, an organism reproduces all by itself, and uses its own genome as the blueprint for its' offspring. However with sexual reproduction, two organisms come together, each contributing half the required chromosomes, and the offspring gets 1/2 it's genes from the mother and 1/2 it's genes from the father. Sexual reproduction allows for greater diversity because it doesn't just rely on mutations to add new diversity to the genepool.
The gradual abundance of oxygen (by product of photosynthesis) made it possible for aerobic organisms to grow more and evolve.
Hope that helps!
C. kinetic energy
On a microscopic scale, conduction occurs as rapidly moving or vibrating atoms and molecules interact with neighboring particles, transferring some of their kinetic energy.
Answer:
Variations are caused by mutation. random mating between organisms.
