Explain when/where for plants sexual reproduction is advantageous over asexual reproduction.
Solution
In sexual reproduction the individual(offspring)will have genetic diversity.Genetic diversity
means the genetic informations that has flowed from its parents.But in asexual reproduction the
offspring is exactly the copy of its parent.By being the exact copy ,it wont be having variety
characters.The main problem is asexual reproduction is the offspring obtained is the exact copy
of its parent,for which,when the environment changes,there is more chances of getting extinct of
that species.But in sexual reproduction due to genetic variations which will promote diversity of
characters of the offspring from both the parents by which it can express any of the favourable
character to sustain in the environment.The sexual reproduction is also done to increase the
population of their species and ensure their survival rate where in asexual reproduction there is
less chance of producing offspring and due to environment change their survival chances are too
less..
