What is the difference between asexual and sexual reproduction?

Answer 1

Sexual is physical and asexual is non sexual
sexual reproduction is when there are 2 parents (mom and dad) the sex cells from both parents come together (egg from female sperm from male) and create a zygote, the baby. asexual reproduction is with only 1 parent. the parent cell duplicates making another cell. there are 3 types of asexual reproduction; budding, regeneration, and mitosis. budding is when the organism grows on the other organism and when it is fully developed it falls off. Ex: Hydra. Regeneration is an organisms ability to re-grow body parts. Ex: Earth worms or Starfish. Mitosis is when a cell duplicated. there are many steps to it.

Answer 3

Sexual Reproduction is the process by which a new organism develops from joining of a male sperm cell and a female egg cell.

Asexual Reproduction is the process by which a single organism produces a new organism identical to itself. Sexual: involves 2 'people' Asexual: involves 1 'person' only.

Plants:

Asexual reproduction (also called vegetative reproduction in plants) only involves one parent. The resulting organism will have identical genes to the parent, the process is also known as cloning.

Sexual reproduction requires two parents. Their genes are combined to create the offspring (fertilization or pollination) which carries the genetic traits of both parents.
Asexual reproduction:

1. Only one organism is involved.
2. No fusion of gametes takes place.
3. Offspring are entirely identical to the parents.
4. No scope of variation or evolution is there.

Sexual reproduction:

1. Two organisms are involved.
2. Fusion of gametes takes place.
3. Offspring are not identical to the parents.
4. There is scope of variation and evolution.

Sexual repoduction requires the collaboration of two sexes such as male and female in order to create a heterogeneous organism with DNA of the two parents that created it.

Asexual reproduction is done by one organism without the collaboration of another partner by fertilization, most commonly by budding, where an organism splits into pieces and begins to grow anew.
sexual reproductuion requires two organisms to produce offspring, but asexual reproduction only requires one organism.
asexual reproduction is a single parent that passes copies of all of its genes to each of its offspring but sexual reproduction is two parents that each form haploid reproductive cells, which join to form offspring

so basical asexual is one parent a sexual is two parents
sexual reproduction: the offspring is not identical to parent.

asexual reproduction: the offspring is identical to parent.
Asexual reproduction involves one parent, while sexual reproduction involves two parents. Organisms which are produced asexually are genetically identical to the parent. In contrast, organisms that are produced sexually only show traces of each parent but are not identical to them or any other organism.
asexual reproduction is when there are no parents and only occurs mainly with cells or bacteriums it is when the cells "clone" themselves and then split and sexual is when two parents fuse an egg and sperm cell together
Sexual reproduction occurs between two organisms, whereas asexual reproduction like binary fission, when a cell splits itself in half to reproduce, occurs with only one organism, which clones itself in effect because it only passes on its own DNA and RNA.
asexual reproduction is a single parent that passes copies of all of its genes to each of its offspring but sexual reproduction is two parents that each form haploid reproductive cells, which join to form offspring

so basical asexual is one parent a sexual is two parents
Sexual reproduction means that there is a male and female needed from a species to reproduce, e.g. humans, but this doesn't mean that asexual reproduction is bad either, asexual reproduction means that there is only one needed from each species, e.g. amoeba, thus saving energy and time.

However, there are some disadvantages of Sexual and asexual reproduction;

Disadvantages:

Sexual reproduction: More time and energy wasted, Harder to reproduce as you need to find another plant/animal.

Asexual reproduction: Could be wiped out because of a disease, as all the copies are identical. Cannot evolve. (see below)

Advantages:

Sexual Reproduction: Not all the 'copies' are identical, and therefore not so easy to wipe out because of a disease. As said above, not all the 'copies' are identical, if a species is varied it is more likely to be able to adapt to any changes in its surroundings, this leads to evolution.

Asexual reproduction: Offspring can be produced quickly.

Therefore, many people agree on that Sexual reproduction is better and more helpful, as Sexual reproducers will not be wiped out as easily.
Sexual:

---------

1.) Two parents take part

2.) Variation occurs in offspring

3.) Fertilization takes place

4.) Gametes are involved

5.) Mixing of hereditary material

Asexual:

-----------

1.) Single parent

2.) Offspring are genetically identical to each other and to their parent

3.) No Internal fertilization or External fertilization

4.) No gametes

5.) No mixing of hereditary material
