How are sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction different from each other?
A
sexual reproduction requires two parents and asexual reproduction requires only one parent
B
asexual reproduction requires two parents and sexual reproduction requires only one parent
C
mutation rates are lower in sexual reproduction than in asexual reproduction
D
asexual reproduction occurs only in multicellular organisms
Explanation: 

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: -Asexual reproduction involves one parent and produces offspring that are genetically identical to each other and to the parent. Sexual reproduction involves two parents and produces offspring that are genetically unique.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of male and female gametes whereas asexual reproduction does not require male and female individuals and no fusion of gametes takes place.

Detailed explanation-5: -In asexual reproduction, only one parent is involved. Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction in which offspring arise from a single organism and inherit the genes of that parent only.
