Detailed explanation-1: -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-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 mode of reproduction by which offspring arise from a single organism, and inherit the genes of that parent only; it is reproduction which almost never involves ploidy or reduction. The offspring will be exact genetic copies of the parent, except in the specific case of automixis.
Detailed explanation-4: -Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction in which offsprings arise from a single organism and inherit the genes of that parent only; it does not involve the fusion of gametes. The offspring produced from asexual reproduction is exact copy of the parent.
