Comparing Sexual & Asexual Reproduction - GCSE Biology

🦊 In this GCSE Biology video, we explain the advantages and disadvantages of both sexual and asexual reproduction, emphasizing how traits that are advantages in one form can be disadvantages in the other. It points out that sexual reproduction leads to genetic variation, which can be beneficial for natural selection, but requires two parents and is slower due to the need to find a mate. Conversely, asexual reproduction is faster and more energy-efficient as it only requires one parent, allowing for the rapid production of many identical offspring, though it lacks genetic variation.
