Detailed explanation-1: -Features of Asexual Reproduction Only one parent is involved. The process occurs in very less time. The offsprings produced are exact copies of the parent, there is no variation. The growth of the offspring is rapid.
Detailed explanation-2: -Asexual reproduction is especially suitable to plants as they are non-motile. There are several advantages of asexual reproduction including the maintenance of genetic continuity, decreased energy requirements, numerous offspring produced quickly, and that fact that it does not require finding a mate.
Detailed explanation-3: -Advantages of Asexual Reproduction Mates are not required. The process of reproduction is rapid. An enormous number of organisms can be produced in very less time. Positive genetic influences pass on to successive generations.
