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 were you able to determine if something was living, once living, or never living (non-living)?
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

Must have lived before.

Explanation:

For an organism to be classified as once living, an object must have been part of a living organism or is now dead. When a flower is plucked from a plant it is hard to distinguish between when it is considered alive and when it is now considered once living. An example of a nonliving object is an apple or a dead leaf.Apr 22, 2013
