Question: Which of the following options are disadvantages of sexual reproduction in a species (select all that apply)? Need Assignment Help?
There is less genetic variation in sexual reproduction. Offspring from sexual reproduction are genetically identical to the parent, which is not as evolutionarily adaptable. An organism has to expend energy to find a mate in sexual reproduction. Males of the species cannot produce offspring in sexual reproduction, so the number of offspring the species can make is less than competitors that asexually reproduce.
