Explanation: 

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 are following: Rapid Populating: Asexual reproduction gives the ability to produce large quantities of offspring. No Mates Required: Asexual reproduction takes the need to find a mate away, allowing these organisms to multiply.

Detailed explanation-3: -Asexual reproduction has its advantages and disadvantages. In some cases, identical clones produced through asexual reproduction have the best traits for survival. In other situations, producing clones leaves a plant species vulnerable to population decline or extinction.
