Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Asexual reproduction means “not sexual” so organisms that reproduce this way don’t require a mate or sex cells to reproduce. Asexual reproduction involves only one parent organism, so the offspring that come from that parent will be genetically identical to the parent and all the other offspring that organism produces.
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: -Reproduction may be asexual when one individual produces genetically identical offspring, or sexual when the genetic material from two individuals is combined to produce genetically diverse offspring. Asexual reproduction occurs through fission, budding, and fragmentation.
