Asexual reproduction results in offspring with an identical genetic makeup as the parent cell which allows them to be called clones. In sexual reproduction genes from both parents combine resulting in offspring with different genetic make ups.

What is the similarity asexual and sexual reproduction?

The only major similarity is that you get a type of offspring. During asexual reproduction, an organism essentially self mates. This doesnt necessarily produce identical offspring, but close. Actually, with asexual reproduction, mutations are more likely to be phenotypically present in the next generation. So technically, you get offspring that does share genes from dad and mom, but in asexual reproduction, dad and mom are the same people.
