sebasp Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 There are currently 3 types of reasons for which sexual reproduction has proliferated: 1. Sex helps in the diffusion of advantageous characters. 2. Sex helps eliminate harmful genes. 3 Sex creates combinations of genes that may be more apt than the previous ones. Will the reason for sexual reproduction be universal or will it depend on the species? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area54 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 One would expect that the relative importance of these influences would be contingent on a wide variety of factors, including the species. I imagine some work has been done on this. Have you looked at potentially relevant research papers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
