Question

"what advantage do organisms that reproduce sexually have over organisms that reproduce asexually?"

Answer 1

Organisms that reproduce sexually have greater genetic and thus characteristic variations, and so, are able to withstand more selection pressures if they so happen to change or become greater. This increases the chances of survival for that species itself.

Organisms that reproduce asexually are genetically identical to each other. They are unlikely to withstand any changes in selection pressures.

Hope this helps! :)
