Question: Sexual reproduction in all eukaryotes (algae, fungi, plants, animals) can be energy intensive, dangerous, and potentially result in offspring who did not receive a useful combination of genes. So why did sexual reproduction evolve in the first place, when asexual spreading/dividing/cloning/budding off (etc) is very common and effective? Group of answer choices mixing up the gene combinations during meiosis and sex can lead to individuals who are better suited to new circumstances organsims are better when allowed to "bond" socially and sex is a great mechanim for forcing them to bond asexual reproduction does not happen fast enough to populate the environment asexual reproduction causes lots of mutations.
