Asexual reproduction is when a single "parent" organism divides itself into two "daughter" organisms that are exact copies of the parent. Examples include budding and binary fission.

Sexual reproduction is when generally two (although sometimes one, depending upon the species) parents combine parts of their individual genomes into a new organism that is not identical to either parent.

What are the a dvantages and disadvantages of sexual and asexual reproduction?

With sexual reproduction, each generation is slightly different from either parent. That way in every species some members are likely to survive and reproduce when conditions change. Asexual reproduction can occur at a much faster level than sexual reproduction. With some plants, a branch stuck in the soil will produce a new plant. That happens much faster than waiting for a seed to grow.


What are the advantages of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction?

With asexual reproduction, the DNA creates a total copy, unique in no way whatsoever. However, with sexual reproduction, though the process is not as quick in most cases, there is a certain level of unique traits which allow the offspring to either spread into different areas, as most plants do, or become a better or worse version of the combination of its two parent genes. Also, in most animals and humans, sexual reproduction is rather pleasurable.

What is a plant sexual or asexual?

Plants can reproduce sexually through the fusion of gametes from two parent plants or asexually through processes such as cloning, fragmentation, or budding. Sexual reproduction involves the formation of seeds and genetic variation, while asexual reproduction results in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent plant.


Do plant asexual or sexual reproduce?

Plants reproduce both sexually and asexually. Some farmers use vegetative propagation as an asexual way to grow new plants that are the same as the original plant. Sexual reproduction when the pollen grains fuse with the ovules. Asexual reproduction also includes "Binary fission" where the present cell splits into two identical daughter cells.


Does meiosis occur in sexual or asexual reproduction?

Meiosis isn't reproduction itself but takes place during sexual reproduction. The function of meiosis is to produce haploid gamete cells that way when fertilization occurs the result are two haploid gametes (half the number of chromosomes) coming together. It occurs only during spermatogenesis or oogenesis, mitosis produces normal somatic cells.
