1. Sexual reproduction causes genetic variation in the offspring.
   This means that some offspring may be better adapted to their environment and are more likely to survive – this is natural selection or survival of the fittest.

   These offspring can then spread to new areas by seed dispersal, or they might escape dangers in their original habitat by living somewhere else.

   Also, plants produce many offspring, so there is a higher chance that some will survive, even if conditions are not good.
