Detailed explanation-1: -Sexual reproduction involves two parents and produces offspring that are genetically unique. During sexual reproduction, two haploid gametes join in the process of fertilization to produce a diploid zygote. Meiosis is the type of cell division that produces gametes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sexual reproduction is combining genetic material from two parents, usually from two gametes. How the two cells combine may take many forms, but does not necessarily involve physical contact. Sexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically distinct from other offspring and from their parents.

Detailed explanation-3: -Asexual reproduction involves one individual producing offspring that are genetically identical to itself. These offspring are produced by mitosis. Mitosis is cell division in which a complete set of chromosomes is passed on to the daughter cell. Single celled and simple life forms tend to reproduce asexually.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fission is a type of asexual reproduction wherein two individuals will form as the parent divides in half. Fragmentation involves the breaking of body parts into fragments. Each piece will regenerate and become a new individual.
