I’m not exactly sure what your question even means.

The success of sexual reproduction is that it enables more jumbling of DNA from parent to offspring since it combines the DNA of 2 parents. This gives more variation to offspring than asexual reproduction does. More variation in offspring means that if something, say a disease, comes along then not all the offspring may die from it due to their slightly different DNA. However, I don’t think this is exactly what you’re asking.
