Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Each gamete contains half the number of chromosomes, or genetic material, of the organism. So, each sperm contains 50% of the father’s genes and each egg contains 50% of the mother’s genes. This makes gametes different from other cells in the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -Asexual reproduction produces offspring from just one parent. These offspring are genetically identical to that one parent.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitosis: Cell division in Asexual Reproduction. 2 Daughter cells exactly like the parent. Heredity is passed to offspring: 100% DNA from 1 parent.
