- It is said that sexual reproduction is selectively advantageous to asexual reproduciton. Why is the case? A. Asexual reproduction produces much more genetic diveristy than sexual reproduction B. Asexual repoduction is only half as efficient as sexual repdocution in sending ones genes into the next generation C. Sexual reproduction increases genetic diversity and consequently slows the rate of evolution D. Sexual reproduction is much faster than asexual repoduction E.
