AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Asexual reproduction generates offspring that are genetically identical to a single parent. In sexual reproduction, two parents contribute genetic information to produce unique offspring.

Detailed explanation-3: -Asexual reproduction Only one parent is required, unlike sexual reproduction which needs two parents. Since there is only one parent, there is no fusion of gametes and no mixing of genetic information. As a result, the offspring are genetically identical to the parent and to each other. They are clones .

Detailed explanation-4: -In asexual reproduction, only one parent is involved. Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction in which offspring arise from a single organism and inherit the genes of that parent only.

Detailed explanation-5: -Because in sexual reproduction 2 parents are involved a male and a female, but in asexual only one parent is involved and there is no fusion of a male and female gamete.
