What is reproduction? Explain two advantages of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction.

Reproduction is a biological process by which parents produce offspring and pass on genetic information from generation to generation. It is a fundamental process and is essential for continuity of species.

Any two advantages of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction are:

1) Sexual reproduction involves gametes from two individuals which lead to more chances of genetic variation which are beneficial for a species in long run.

2) Sexual reproduction increases genetic variation and thus reduces the chances of disease to affect a population of a species.
