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. $exual 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. read less

A mode of reproduction involving the fusion of female gamete (ovum) and male gamete (spermatozoon), which forms a zygote that potentially develops into genetically distinct offspring. •Mammalian reproduction •insects Reproduction and development An organism capable of asexual reproduction is able to produce offspring in the absence of a mate. In asexual reproduction, the offspring is a clone of the parent and therefore results in low genetic variation in the species as a whole. Examples of asexual reproduction are: • Binary fission • Budding read less
