Reproduction is the process by which organisms produce offspring either by sexual or asexual
process. It is a necessary process for it prevents extinction by breeding. Sexual reproduction is the fusion
of egg cells and sperm cells to form a fertilized egg or a zygote. This is advantageous to a species
because it ensures genetic variation due to the combined genes of both parents. On the other hand,
asexual reproduction is the … This is advantageous because they can produce an offspring without a
need of a mate although it doesn’t promote variation of species because it only clones the specie.
