When female and male organisms are involved in producing young organism is known as sexual reproduction.

Gametes of opposite sex organisms must fuse to produce young organisms

Sexual reproduction causes more viable variations because - 

1. Error in copying DNA, which is not highly significant

2. Segregation of maternal and paternal chromosome at the time of gamete formation is random.

3. Crossing over homologous chromosomes.

In asexual reproduction, variation is less since only a single parent is involved. Vary small charges occur due to inaccuracies during DNA copying capacity pass progeny. There is no mixing characters in asexual reproduction are less genetically similar to their process. So, it can be concluded that evolution in sexually reproducing organisms proceeds at a faster rate then in asexually reproducing organisms.

More variation in evolution.
