The Evolution of Sex Part II: How Sex Helps You Win the Lottery

Last episode we talked mostly about asexual reproduction. This episode we'll flip the script and discuss the advantages sexual reproduction brings to the table. We'll talk about some ways that sexual organisms could be more successful, reproductively speaking, than asexual ones. I'll also try to explain a theory which suggests an evolutionary explanation for the origins of sexual reproduction. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/teach-me-something. Hosted on Acast.
