They can also reproduce sexually when their flowers are pollinated. What is the primary advantage of sexual reproduction in rose bushes?

• Roses can produce more offspring in sexual reproduction.

• Roses produced through sexual reproduction have more genetic variation.

• Roses can reproduce sexually without the use of gametes.

• Roses reproduce more quickly when reproducing sexually.
