Best Answer

In sexual reproduction, two parents donate genes to their young, resulting in offspring with a mix of inherited genes. These genes are donated through a process called fertilization. There are two mechanisms by which fertilization can take place. The first is external (the eggs are fertilized outside of the body), and the second is internal (the eggs are fertilized within the female reproductive tract). While fertilization is necessary for organisms that reproduce sexually, individuals that reproduce asexually do so without the need for fertilization. These organisms produce genetically identical copies of themselves through the process of mitosis.
