Distinguish between asexual and sexual reproduction. Why is vegetative reproduction also considered as a type of asexual reproduction?

Explanation

1) When an offspring is produced by a single parent with or without the involvement of gamete formation it is called asexual reproduction.
2) Sexual reproduction involves the formation of the male and female gametes, either by the same individual or by different individuals of the opposite sex.
3) Vegetative reproduction does not involve two parents, hence it is also considered as a type of asexual reproduction.
