Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Asexual reproduction results in plants that are genetically identical to the parent plant, since there is no mixing of male and female gametes, resulting in better survival.
Detailed explanation-2: -Asexual reproduction does not show the process of meiosis and fertilization. Hence this process does not require gamete fusion.
Detailed explanation-3: -For asexually reproduced organisms, the main advantage is that it does not require a partner which means the individual can exploit a lot of favorable conditions.
