capable of reproducing by meiosis ability to reproduce without a mate ability to produce genetically different offspring capable of producing offspring genetically identical to parent
I gave my students this multiple choice question: Which is the greatest benefit of sexual reproduction?

Only one answer is correct among these 4 choices:
- capable of reproducing by meiosis
- ability to reproduce without a mate
- ability to produce genetically different offspring
- capable of producing offspring genetically identical to parent

Could you tell me which one is correct?
