Detailed explanation-4: -In asexual reproduction, only one parent is involved.

Detailed explanation-5: -Asexual reproduction does not involve sex cells or fertilisation . 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.
