Sexual reproduction is necessary for life. "[Sex] prevents parasites from becoming too well adapted to their hosts" (Judson 228). Sexual reproductions remove harmful mutations from the population. Sexual reproduction has a slower production rate. "Sex is an advantage because it breaks up gene combinations" (Judson 229).
Asexual reproduction does not require fertilization, but there is very little variation, which can cause extinction. "...mammals clone once in a while, when an embryo splits early in development" (Judson 215).
Some animals reproduce sexually and asexually. "Armadillos... engage in both sexual and asexual reproduction"(Judson 229).
I learned that many species reproduce in different ways. Some reproduce more than others, and some reproduce sexually, while others reproduce asexually. I understood the text and all my questions were answered in the text.
