Problem 5: Asexual vs. sexual reproduction

Some organisms are capable of asexual or sexual reproduction. Under favorable conditions, reproduction proceeds asexually. When conditions become more stressful reproduction switches to a sexual mode. Why?

B.	Sexual reproduction requires two separate individuals, who can mutually provide nuitrient support during stress.
	Incorrect. Most species would argue that sexual reproduction increases rather than decreases stress. What do you think now, what will you think in 25 years?
