Answer:

To develop more favourable traits in offspring for survival.

I'm no bio expert but from my understanding, it's better to reproduce sexually to broaden the gene pool and allow for the offspring to develop better traits for survival.

for example if the parent is susceptible to a certain disease then asexual will cause the offspring to also be susceptible. however, through sexual reproduction with a parent who is immune, the offspring could be immune as well.

Hope that helps

How does the escape velocity of venus compare to that of mars?
Olenka [21]
In physics, escape velocity is the speed where the kinetic energy of an object is equal to the magnitude of its gravitational potential energy. 
This relates to the speed at which an object should travel to "break" free of any gravitational pull.
Venus: 10.46 km/s
Mars: 5.027 km/s

<h3>What causes infectious diseases?</h3>

Coming into contact with a person or an animal who has the virus is one of the most straightforward ways to obtain the most contagious or infectious diseases. Direct contact, such as person-to-person contact, can transfer contagious diseases. Direct transmission of bacteria, viruses, or other germs from one person to another is the primary method by which contagious diseases are typically disseminated. If someone who is unaffected touches, kisses, coughs, sneezes, or has the virus or bacterium on them, this could happen. Additionally, these pathogens can disperse through sexual contact and the exchange of bodily fluids. The person who spreads the infection may only be a carrier and not exhibit any signs of the illness.
