How is sexual reproduction different from asexual reproduction ? State the limitations of asexual mode of reproduction.

Explanation

When new generations are to be created from a single individual without gametes then it is known as asexual reproduction. Whereas the mode of reproduction involving both male and female sexes to produce new generation is called sexual reproduction.
Limitations of asexual mode of reproduction are as follows:
`rarr` It hinders diversity.
`rarr` Organisms reproduce very quickly, as a result number of offsprings increase leading to increased competition.
`rarr` Inheritance is possible from only single parent.
`rarr` Population cannot be controlled.
`rarr` Organisms cannot adapt easily.
`rarr` The niche gets filled up quickly.
