State
Sexual reproduction combines genetic material from two parents through gamete fusion, producing varied offspring that better withstand a changing or pathogen-rich environment than a uniform population.
Show
A genetically diverse population is less likely to be wiped out by one pathogen than genetically identical clones.
Watch for
Genetic diversity is a population-level advantage, not a guarantee any one offspring survives better.
