Why does sexual reproduction result in more genetic diversity than asexual reproduction? 

• Traits from two parents are combined. 
• More organisms reproduce this way. 
• Offspring grow in different environments. 
• Offspring come from identical parents.

In order to grow two of the exact same plants, a person would reproduce them asexually because the

• genetic diversity is greater. 
• offspring would be genetically identical. 
• recessive traits would emerge. 
• negative traits are suppressed.
