∙ 12y agoSexual reproduction involves the fusion of two half-cells, or gametes, to create an offspring, e.g. in humans. Asexual reproduction referes to reproduction without the need for another organism, e.g. binary fission (spliting) in bacteria.

∙ 12y agoasexual reproduction is an exact copy made from only one organism. The latter is from two organisms.
Asexual reproduction involves a single parent producing genetically identical offspring, while sexual reproduction involves two parents contributing genetic material to produce genetically diverse offspring. Asexual reproduction is common in simpler organisms, while sexual reproduction is found in more complex organisms.
Mitosis is asexual reproduction, meiosis is sexual reproduction.
Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of genetic material from two parent organisms, resulting in offspring with a combination of traits from both parents. Asexual reproduction involves a single parent reproducing offspring that are genetically identical to the parent.
their is a lot of difference. they are the steps of asexual reproduction.
Sexual reproduction includes the fusion of gametes during the production of offspring. Asexual reproduction produces new offspring without the fusion of gametes.
Sexual reproduction requires an two haploid gametes fusing to form a single diploid organism. Asexual reproduction does not.
Asexual reproduction involves a single parent and produces offspring genetically identical to the parent, while sexual reproduction involves two parents and produces genetically diverse offspring. Asexual reproduction typically occurs in simpler organisms, while sexual reproduction is more common in complex organisms.
The most important difference between sexual and asexual reproduction is that sexual reproduction involves the fusion of genetic material from two parents, resulting in offspring with genetic diversity, while asexual reproduction involves a single parent and produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent.
Sexual reproduction typically produces offspring with a wider range of genetic combinations, leading to more diversity in parent characteristics. Asexual reproduction leads to offspring that are genetically identical to the parent, resulting in less variation in characteristics between parent and offspring.
Organisms reproduce through sexual reproduction (requiring two parents to produce offspring with genetic diversity) and asexual reproduction (involving only one parent and producing genetically identical offspring). Some organisms can also switch between sexual and asexual reproduction depending on environmental conditions. Additionally, some organisms have unique reproductive strategies such as parthenogenesis or hermaphroditism.
The key difference is that asexual reproduction involves a single parent, resulting in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. In sexual reproduction, two parents contribute genetic material to produce genetically diverse offspring.
