How is asexual reproduction different from sexual reproduction?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Reproduction taking place by the fusion of male and female gametes is called sexual reproduction. Two parents of opposite sex are involved in sexual reproduction. Offsprings are genetically not identical to parents or to each other.
Reproduction taking place by the help of asexual parts (without fusion of gametes) is called asexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction involves only a single parent. Offsprings produced are genetically identical to the mother and to each other offsprings.
