Detailed explanation-1: -Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction by which offspring arise from a single organism, and inherit the genes of that parent only; it is reproduction which almost never involves ploidy or reduction. The offspring will be exact genetic copies of the parent, except in the specific case of automixis.
Detailed explanation-2: -Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction in which new individuals are produced without fusion of gametes. Offsprings produced by asexual reproduction are different from parents and genetic variation does not occur.
Detailed explanation-3: -Asexual reproduction involves one parent and produces offspring that are genetically identical to each other and to the parent. Sexual reproduction involves two parents and produces offspring that are genetically unique.
Detailed explanation-4: -Asexual reproduction requires only one parent plant. There is no exchanging of genetic information, therefore, offspring are clones of the parent. Asexual reproduction in plants can occur in a variety of forms which includes budding, vegetative propagation, spore formation and fragmentation.
