Detailed explanation-1: -“Asexual reproduction is the mode of reproduction that does not involve the fusion of male and female gametes and produces individuals that are genetically identical to the parent.”

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Asexual propagation involves taking a part of one parent plant and causing it to regenerate itself into a new plant. The resulting new plant is genetically identical its parent. Asexual propagation involves the vegetative parts of a plant: stems, roots, or leaves.

Detailed explanation-5: -Asexual Reproduction. Asexual reproduction only requires DNA from one parent. It creates offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. Genetically identical offspring are called clones.
