Summary Introduction
To explain:
The conditions where the evolution select for sexual reproduction in C.elegans.
Concept introduction:
The sexual reproduction involves two different parents. Each of the parents forms gametes, which at the time of fertilization fuses and leads to the formation of zygote which is genetically different from both the parents.
