AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Asexual reproduction requires only one parent. There are many types of asexual reproduction. Four major types are: 1) Binary fission: Single parent cell doubles its DNA, then divides into two cells.

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 is the production of new cells by simple division of the parent cell into two daughter cells (called binary fission). Since there is no fusion of two different cells, the daughter cells produced by asexual reproduction are genetically identical to the parent cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -For many single-celled organisms, asexual reproduction is a similar process. The parent cell simply divides to form two daughter cells that are identical to the parent.

Detailed explanation-5: -There are a number of types of asexual reproduction, including fission, fragmentation, budding, vegetative reproduction, spore formation and agamogenesis.
