If an organism was reproducing asexually, what’s the theory/reasoning behind why they’d develop different sexual organs to reproduce sexually?
While we’re in the ballpark. . .What are some of the best examples of creatures who are presently in the middle of transitioning between species?

Liberals?
Bonobo chimps and Pan chimps are in the process of becoming separate species. It is exactly what one would expect if a river changed course a long time ago and ran through the middle of the chimp range. Chimps do not swim so the river was a reproductive barrier - and as is INEVITABLE - differences accumulated in separate populations - with the bonobo being smaller and much more sex crazed than its “cousins” across the river.
