Describe an advantage of an organism that reproduces through sexual reproduction (through the use of meiosis) as opposed to asexual reproduction (mitosis).

Genetic variation

Explanation:

During Sexual production through meiosis,the offsprings usually have traits from both the sperm and egg cells. This makes it to have a real and true physical identity due to its distinct combination of traits.

While the asexual reproduction through mitosis doesn’t produce gametes and therefore the reproduction deals with the parent cells producing a direct replica of itself with no genetic variation.
