Is Sexual Reproduction Important?

Sexual reproduction is important because it allows species to adopted whenever their environment changes, ultimately causing the long-term success of a species. Many asexual reproductive species may first Seem to flourish, but as time passes the species slowly die out due to changes in the environment that they are unable to adopt because asexual reproductive animals can't adapt to changes in their environment unless they mutate, which is very unlikely to happen and very random. This is why more than 99% of eukaryotes in the world reproduce sexually instead of asexually, as very few asexual species can survive over a long time. It is important, because without it, extinction would be common, because most asexual species cannot survive an environment change without extinction or massive population loss. The benefits of reproducing asexually is that you can you can reproduce extremely easy without having to Worry about finding a mate and it doesn't take a lot of time to reproduce reproduce asexually a relatively speak a relatively to sexual reproduction also asexual reproduction can make a lot of Offspring very quickly, so in the law in the short term of asexual reproduction usually usually enables animal usually enable organisms to 60. What the cost of asexual reproduction include that there is no genetic variation between different organisms in the species, and These types of organisms don't survive well when the environment changes, so in the long term, asexual reproduction loses to sexual reproduction.

On the other hand, sexual reproduction causes more genetic variation between different organisms in the species, which makes them more resistant to environmental changes. New changes can arise among the population such as camouflage, finding food, parasite resistance, which selects only the most  hardy  organisms in the population to  re organisms in the population to pass on their genes and reproduce and pass on their genes. The costs of sexual reproduction include the fact that it requires a lot of time and energy. Sexual reproduction also exposes Many organisms to  parasite and STDs that rely on sexual reproduction to grow and infect the population. It can also cause genetic complications that are bad, and too many of these can cause population decline. The competition of finding a mate makes it so that the organisms adapted to finding a mate get selected, instead of those that are most adapted to survive in a given environment.

What I found confusing was that Philodina and E. Coli were able to spread among many different environment, without getting wiped out in the process. I also found that how Philodina and E Coli managed to evolve from reproducing sexually to asexually was confusing. I also found the fact that so few organisms reproduce asexually strange, because at a given point of time,  previously sexually reproducing organisms could have evolved to asexually reproducing organisms, thus there should be a significant amount of a sexually reproducing eukaryotic organisms to exist.
