Insects are needed to transfer pollen.

New plants grow from seeds.

|
|
Offspring are genetically identical to their parent.
|
|
|
Two types of gametes are involved.
|
Detailed explanation-1: -In asexual reproduction, only a single parent is involved. So, the offspring produced are genetically identical to the parent and to each other as well. Such offspring are called clones. Hence, the offspring are genetically identical to themselves and their parents.
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 is a form of reproduction in which the offspring produced is exactly similar to the parent. Also, neither there is formation of two different gametes, nor there is an involvement of two different sexes. In case of unicellular organisms, mitosis is a mode of asexual reproduction.
Detailed explanation-4: -Because in sexual reproduction 2 parents are involved a male and a female, but in asexual only one parent is involved and there is no fusion of a male and female gamete.
