Genetic Variation

Explanation:

The main advantage of sexual reproduction is genetic variation. Sexual reproduction is synonymous to fertilization which is the uniuon of a male and a female gamete. Each gamete carries genetic information from its source (mother/father), and when they go through sexual reproduction, the gametes will produce an off-spring that carries both genetic information. As a result, the off-spring will contain a different genetic make up as the parents.
