Detailed explanation-1: -Asexual reproduction involves one parent and produces offspring that are genetically identical to each other and to the parent. Numerous types of asexual reproduction exist, including fission, fragmentation and budding.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Asexual reproduction occurs by cell division during mitosis to produce two or more genetically identical offspring.

Detailed explanation-4: -Asexual Reproduction. Asexual reproduction only requires DNA from one parent. It creates offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. Genetically identical offspring are called clones.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitosis is used to produce daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cells. The cell copies-or ‘replicates’-its chromosomes, and then splits the copied chromosomes equally to make sure that each daughter cell has a full set.
