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: -Fission. In fission (or binary fission), a parent separates into two or more individuals of about equal size. This type of reproduction is common among single-celled organisms including bacteria, archaea, and unicellular eukaryotes, such as protists and some fungi.
Detailed explanation-3: -In asexual reproduction all the genes in the offspring come from one parent. In sexual reproduction one full set of the genes come from each parent. Living things produce offspring of the same species, but in many cases offspring are not identical with each other or with their parents.
