QUESTION
Why is sexual reproduction important?
ANSWER
About 1.3 billion years ago, sexual reproduction starts mixing genes and paves the way for the great diversity we see today. It's hugely important on this timeline because it allows organisms to begin combing genes, allowing the next generation to do more than its parents; upping the chance of survival. Sexual Reproduction produces variable offspring creating diversity and variation among populations. It is important for plants as it provides variation to the progeny that helps in better survival and helps it to gain its own uniqueness within the species and remove the unwanted genes. Reproduction is important for the survival of all living things.
