distinguish between asexual and sexual

The difference between asexual and sexual reproduction is:

Asexual reproduction

• One parent is involved
• New generation is identical or true copy of the parent
• Original parent disappears after reproduction
• Process of gamete formation fertilization is absent
• Characteristics of only parent is inherited
• Special organs for reproduction are not required
• Examples: jasmine, rose, potato, etc.

Sexual reproduction

• Two parents are involved
• New generation is similar to its parents
• Original parents remain alive after reproduction
• Fertilization of gametes give rises to zygote
• Characteristics of both parents are inherited
• Special organs for reproduction are required
• Examples: Hibiscus, coconut, papaya, etc.

I hope this helps you!

Hello!

Following are the differences between the two:-

Asexual Reproduction:

1. It occurs in lower invertebrates and lower chordates and plants with simple organisations.

2. It is always uni-parental.

3. Gametes are not formed.

4. No fertilization.

5. It involves only mitosis.

6.Daughter organisms are genetically identical to the parent.

7. Multiplication occurs rapidly.

8. Since there is no variation, so it does not contribute to evolution of the species.

Sexual Reproduction:

1. It occurs almost in all types of animals and mostly in higher plants.

2.It is usually bi-parental.

3. Gametes are always formed.

4. Fertilization takes place.

5. It involves both meiosis and mitosis.

6. Daughter organisms genetically differ from the parents.

7. Multiplication is not as rapid as in asexual reproduction.

8. Since there are variations, so it contributes to evolution of the species.

Thankyou!
