d less complicated. II. Sexual reproduction results in more diversity. III. Sexual reproduction requires only one parent. IV. Sexual reproduction produces more offspring. A. III only B. II only C. I, III, and IV only D. I and II only
Sexual reproduction combines half of the unique genetic material of one parent with half of the unique genetic material of another parent, resulting in a unique offspring. Asexual reproduction results in an offspring that is genetically identical to the parent.
The advantage of genetically-unique offspring is the increased likelihood of survival if and when the environmental conditions change. If a new environmental condition threatens one individual, then it threatens all identical individuals. In this way, an entire population of genetically-identical individuals may be wiped out by an environmental change. (Study Island)
