Genetic applications in medicine can include studies of inheritance, mapping disease genes, diagnosis and treatment, and genetic counseling.
Choose and pick may be an example
A branch point on a phylogenetic tree is a separation point, from where a lineage is evolved into a new different lineage. The basal taxon is the unbranched lineages which evolved from the root.
The answer would be: relatively constant environmental conditions
When the environment condition is changed, the organism need to changes too. If the organism reproduced asexually, their genetic material of the offspring would be identical without change. This makes asexual reproduction couldn't produce a different offspring.
Sexual production will produce a various genetic material that might turn the changes into beneficial condition.
