Detailed explanation-1: -An advantage of asexual reproduction is that the resulting plant will reach maturity faster. Since the new plant is arising from an adult plant or plant parts, it will also be sturdier than a seedling. Asexual reproduction can take place by natural or artificial (assisted by humans) means.
Detailed explanation-2: -The advantages of asexual reproduction include: the population can increase rapidly when the conditions are favourable. only one parent is needed. it is more time and energy efficient as you don’t need a mate.
Detailed explanation-3: -In many ways, asexual reproduction is a better evolutionary strategy: Only one parent is required, and all of that parent’s genes are passed on to its progeny. In sexual reproduction, only half of each parent’s genes are passed to the next generation. What’s more, a mate must be found.
Detailed explanation-4: -Sexual reproduction usually requires two parents. The advantages are more variation and a greater dispersal distance, with little chance of competition with the parent plant. Asexual reproduction requires only one parent plant.
