Organisms prefer sexual mode of reproduction in adverse conditions because:

1. It leads to a rapid proliferation of numbers
2. It requires two individuals that can support the progeny
3. It is less energy consuming than the asexual mode of reproduction
4. It provides protection and increases variations that may help progeny to survive
