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: -Reproduction is the production of offspring. There are two main forms: sexual and asexual reproduction. In sexual reproduction, an organism combines the genetic information from each of its parents and is genetically unique. In asexual reproduction, one parent copies itself to form a genetically identical offspring.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -During sexual reproduction the genetic material of two individuals is combined to produce genetically diverse offspring that differ from their parents. The genetic diversity of sexually produced offspring is thought to give species a better chance of surviving in an unpredictable or changing environment.

Detailed explanation-5: -Asexual species, on the other hand, do not have genetic variability like we do-each of their offspring has the exact same genetic makeup as their parent.
