Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Offsprings produced by asexual reproduction are different from parents and genetic variation does not occur. In contrast, sexual reproduction leads to genetic variation.
Detailed explanation-2: -Budding. In budding, organisms reproduce by having new individuals split off from existing ones, which results in genetically identical parent and daughter organisms.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
