A.Sexual reproduction allows for variation among offspring such that a subset will be well suited for an unpredictable future environment

B.Sexual reproduction allows for variation among offspring such that each can find a subset of the spatially varying environment on which they can thrive

C. Sexual reproduction allows for variation among offspring such that a subset will have resistance to a coevolving parasite or disease

Explanation / Answer

1. Lottery ticket Hypothesis

A.Sexual reproduction allows for variation among offspring such that a subset will be well suited for an unpredictable future environment

2. Red Queen Hypothesis

C. Sexual reproduction allows for variation among offspring such that a subset will have resistance to a coevolving parasite or disease

3. Tangled Bank Hypothesis

B.Sexual reproduction allows for variation among offspring such that each can find a subset of the spatially varying environment on which they can thrive
