 * 1) Animals that remain in one place and are unable to look for mates can reproduce
 * 2) Offspring can be produced without the use of a large amount of energy or time
 * 3) Because of a large population, species will survive even when conditions or the number of predators change
 * 1) Offspring lack genetic variation so all organisms of the species share the same weaknesses
 * 2) Stable environmental changes can result in consequences for all of the individual organisms
 * 3) Offspring compete for the same limited resources
 * 1) Offspring have genetic variation meaning that they have a mixture of traits, as a result, evolution, by the process of natural selection occurs
 * 2) New species can be created which could possibly be better adapted to its surroundings that its parents
 * 1) Since 2 parents are involved, finding a mate take more energy and time than asexual reproduction
 * 2) No guarantees that the nucleus of the male sex cell will fuse with the female sex cell
 * 3) Number of offspring produced at once is less
 * 4) Offspring could contain genetic mutations
