Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason why natural selection favor aphids that alternate between asexual and sexual reproduction at different seasons of the year.

Aphids are the tiny sap-sucking insects belong to the superfamily Aphidoidea. These are distributed worldwide, but are commonly found in the temperate region. They have soft bodies which may be black, green, pink and brown in color. They can be alternate between asexual and sexual mode of reproduction within the same host at different seasons of the year.
