Detailed explanation-1: -Asexual reproduction requires only one parent. There are many types of asexual reproduction. Four major types are: 1) Binary fission : Single parent cell doubles its DNA, then divides into two cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -While asexual reproduction only involves one organism, sexual reproduction requires both a male and a female. Some plants and unicellular organisms reproduce asexually. Most mammals and fish use sexual reproduction. Some organisms like corals and komodo dragons can reproduce either sexually or asexually.
Detailed explanation-3: -Asexual reproduction in plants occurs through budding, fragmentation, vegetative propagation, and spore formation. No flowers are required for this method. The plants produced by asexual reproduction thrive well in stable environments.
Detailed explanation-4: -In asexual reproduction, one parent copies itself to form a genetically identical offspring. Sea turtles are an example of an animal that reproduces sexually, a volvox (green algae) is an example of an organism that reproduces asexually, and a brittle star can reproduce in either way.
Detailed explanation-5: -Numerous types of asexual reproduction exist, including fission, fragmentation and budding. Bacteria and single-celled eukaryotic organisms must reproduce asexually, however, numerous multi celled organisms also reproduce asexually.
