ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Differentiate between asexual and sexual reproduction.
A
Sexual reproduction allows for new offspring to be developed with unique DNA involving one parent, and asexual reproduction doesn’t.
B
Sexual reproduction involves one parent and body cells. Asexual reproduction involves two parents and sex cells.
C
Asexual reproduction involves one parent and body cells. Sexual reproduction involves two parents and sex cells.
D
Asexual reproduction allows for new offspring to be developed with exact DNA like its parents, and sexual reproduction does not.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Asexual reproduction generates offspring that are genetically identical to a single parent. In sexual reproduction, two parents contribute genetic information to produce unique offspring. Sexual and asexual reproduction have advantages and disadvantages-which is why some organisms do both!

Detailed explanation-2: -How is sexual reproduction different from asexual reproduction? Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of male and female gametes whereas asexual reproduction does not require male and female individuals and no fusion of gametes takes place.

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: -Hint: Sexual reproduction is a process that makes a new organism by combining the genetic material of two organisms. Asexual reproduction is a kind of reproduction which doesn’t involve the fusion of gametes or change within the number of chromosomes. Vegetative reproduction is any type of asexual reproduction.
