procreation
sex
Some protists.
Requires much less time and effort, as you need not find a mate. Can reproduce many quickly. But they will all be the same, so beware of genetic defects!
Sexual reproduction causes the child to be somewhat different from the parents, which might be advantageous in terms of adapting to the environment. A clone will be a precise copy of the parent, which is bad news if the environment is changing.
* Involves at least one parent * Plants and animals involved. [some are sexual while others are asexual] * Produce offspring * Forms of reproduction
I am studying Microbiology in school currently. According to my understanding, conjugation is not a form sexual reproduction, instead, it is asexual reproduction. Reason being, conjugation only involves transfer of genetic information which is the same as sexual reproduction which involves the fusion of garmetes (sex cells)/equal exchange of genetic material. Hope my answer is helpful. But now, I have a question. Why is conjugation considered a form reproduction when it does not even produce a new offspring?
If you mean what kind of reproduction occurs in the kingdom animalia there is sexual reproduction, and some invertebrates reproduce by budding.
Each of us is an example of sexual reproduction. At some point, our parents had sexual intercourse and we are the end product of that, we are their reproduction of themselves.
Animals use sexual reproduction while bacteria and some plants use asexual reproduction.
Its hella fun. and genetic diversity. Some argue that the evolutionary process is more expressed in species using sexual reproduction.
It is generally though that sexual recombination is the greatest advantage of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction. By recombining genes you get many variants that may have some members of the population resistant to some environmental challenge. Asexuality just gives clones.

Mitosis, Meiosis, Asexual reproduction and Sexual reproduction
The vast majority of animals practice some kind of sexual reproduction. There are a few minor life forms that use asexual reproduction.
Asexual: the offspring has a single parent.Sexual: the offspring has two parents (combining some chromosomes from each parent). In asexual reproduction, as long as there are no mutations, the offspring are identical to the parents; in sexual reproduction, they are not.
Depends on the mollusk. Most use sexual but some snails are hermaphrodites and can perform asexual reproduction.
