Sexual reproduction in plants provides genetic variation. What are the benefits of this genetic variation? O If a population is presented with a rapid change in the environment or a chronic new pathogen or herbivore, then genetic variability would increase the chances of survival of the population. O Sexual reproduction produces less genetic variations which enables a population to co-evolve with other organisms in it's ecosystem. O Sexual reproduction reduces genetic variations which enables a population to take advantage of different resources in it's ecosystem enabling it to exist in a the same niche as others that use the original resources. Sexual reproduction will always produce a more fit organism.

## The Benefits of Genetic Variation from Sexual Reproduction in Plants

### Sexual reproduction in plants provides genetic variation. What are the benefits of this genetic variation?

- **If a population is presented with a rapid change in the environment or a chronic new pathogen or herbivore, then genetic variability would increase the chances of survival of the population.**
  
- Sexual reproduction produces less genetic variations which enables a population to co-evolve with other organisms in its ecosystem.

- Sexual reproduction reduces genetic variations which enables a population to take advantage of different resources in its ecosystem enabling it to exist in the same niche as others that use the original resources.

- Sexual reproduction will always produce a more fit organism.
