The Evolution of Sexual Reproduction
Over 99% of all eukaryotic organisms reproduce sexually. In lecture, we talked about why sex would evolve since it requires each organisms to only pass on 50% of their genes, as opposed to 100% of their genes in asexual reproduction. Here are a few links that go into more depth and you might find useful.
