Question

complete the t-chart by categorizing each statement as an advantage or disadvantage of sexual reproduction.
not all mutations are passed on.
it is time and energy consuming.
the reproduction process is slow.
it provides genetic variation.

Explanation:

• Genetic variation helps populations adapt to changes, so it is an advantage.
• A slow, time/energy-consuming reproduction process limits population growth and survival in fast-changing environments, so these are disadvantages.
• Not passing on all mutations prevents harmful traits from spreading, so this is an advantage.

Answer:

Advantage	Disadvantage
Not all mutations are passed on.	The reproduction process is slow.
