Verified by Experts


Which species is likely to have comparatively better chances of survivial . Sexually reproducing organisms have better chances of survival because sexual reproduction involves the fusion of two gametes (male and female) and the zygoate so formed contains the DNA from two different members of the species. This causes more variations. The variations allow the individuals to adapt under varied environmental conditions for better chances of survival .
