As a general rule, animals cannot reproduce asexually. However, there are exceptions.
Amoebas and other single-celled organisms reproduce asexually, being too small to have gender.
Certain larger animals may reproduce asexually through either:
- parthenogenesis under certain circumstances (that is, reproduction via self-cloning),
- gynogenesis (via the catalyst of a male nearby which does not actually fertilize the eggs).
Greenflies clone themselves once every 20 minutes.
Whiptail lizards, Aphids, some bees wasps and hornets, some fish and water fleas reproduce by parthenogenesis. Komodo Dragons, some sharks, some snails do as well.
Parthenogenesis has been laboratory induced in some species, such as urchins and turkeys, but this does not occur in the wild.

In the Rhizopus life cycle list the structures that are involved in the sexual reproduction and then the structures involved in asexual reproduction?
In the Rhizopus life cycle, sexual reproduction involves the formation of zygospores, which are formed by the fusion of gametangia from different mating types. In asexual reproduction, sporangia and sporangiospores are produced through the asexual sporulation process.
List the characteristics of asexual reproduction?
-Only one parent is required to produce offspring binary fission budding fragmentation spore formation vegetative reproduction

What animals undergo metamorophosis?
Far too many animals undergo metamorphosis to list here. However, in general; Amphibians, insects, marine fish and most marine invertibrates go through metamorphosis.
List of rainforest animals that are asexual?
Asexual reproduction involves one parent. As a result, the offspring tend to have the same genotype and phenotype; they lack variation. It is advantageous in a constant environment because a large number of offspring can be produced in a short time. Examples: Flatworms can divide into 2 halves; each half grows into a separate organism. Cnidarians undergo budding where a new individual grows from and then breaks off of the parent individual. Echinoderms can be cut to form new individuals. Insects- parthenogenesis (unfertilized egg develops) United Nations Farms

Examples of plants that undergo sexual and asexual reproduction?
More plants produce sexually than those which produce asexually. The result of sexual reproduction is the seed, therefore the easiest to produce a list of sexually producing plants is to see what plants produce seed. Examples: Pansy, petunia, marigold, peas, beans etc.
What is the meaning for the sexual reproduction?
