Which of the following is NOT a reason that sexual reproduction provides an advantage over asexual reproduction? A: Sexual reproduction ensures that fertilization only occurs with gametes that have the best combination of alleles for the environment the offspring will be born into. B: Sexual reproduction produces unique combinations of alleles of different genes, providing genetic diversity that may be beneficial as the environment changes.
