Sexual reproduction always produces more genetic variability than asexual reproduction. That is since in sexual reproduction the fusion of genetic material from distinct individuals takes place and therefore the offspring is not genetically similar to the parent cell.

When the hypothesis which protozoans originated multicellular animals is strong, other hypotheses might be even stronger: that such protozoans were able to reproduce sexually, as only genetic variation can generate biological differentiation to the point of making new kinds of living beings.
