Name 1 disadvantage and 1 advantage to sexual reproduction.

Disadvantage:  lots of time and energy looking for another parent (aka mate), then courtship ritual (if needed) and making expensive gametes (egg and sperm)

Advantage:  genetic diversity to possible succeed in novel/new environments and possible genetic edge to survive in a changing ecosystem.
