Answer
A
X advantage
B
disadvantage

Explanation

“Not all mutations are passed on” is an advantage of sexual reproduction. A mutation in one parent is not automatically inherited by offspring; it must be present in a reproductive cell and passed along. By contrast, sexual reproduction’s time and energy demands and slower process are disadvantages, while genetic variation is an advantage.
