Two forms of reproduction: sexual and asexual reproduction

Biologists' Puzzle

Two-Fold Cost

The two-fold cost of sexual reproduction:
- The cost of producing males (instead of producing only females that can reproduce)
- The cost of genetic recombination (reducing the chances of passing on beneficial traits)

Meiosis and Sexual Reproduction
