Asexual Reproduction (also known as vegetative reproduction) of plants is reproducing without using sex cells - through mitosis only!
Asexual reproduction does not require more than one parent plant, it is fast and does not use the same amount of energy as the production of flowers, fruit and seed. Normally speed is a vital to plant when growing conditions are optimal; in less than optimal or uncertain conditions the production of seed is a more long-term option of reproduction.
Asexulally produced plants are are genetically identical.
During asexual reproduction no genetic "mixing" (or hybridization) of material takes place, this can be a disadvantage in some instances, as the "gene pool" does not increase and plants may be less able withstand climatic or other external changes.

Is cactus sexual or asexual?
I presume you mean does it use asexual reproduction. Cacti are flowering plants which reproduce sexually.
What do flowers use to make reproduction?
pollination.sexualSexual and Asexual Reproduction
What plants are more likely to reproduce asexualy?
Most plants (this includes mosses and ferns as well as seed plants) can reproduce asexually naturally and even more can reproduce asexually if induced with growth hormones. There are multiple ways for plants to reproduce asexually, some use stem and root modifications such as stolons and runners other may produce genetically identical seeds (agamospermy). There are no reliable counts or proportions of plants reproducing with a mixture of sexual and asexual means but it's thought that most perennial plants can engage in asexual reproduction.

Which cell do plants use in asexual reproduction?
Meristematic cells

Would you give me a sentence using the word sexual reproduction?
Animals use sexual reproduction while bacteria and some plants use asexual reproduction.
How do you use reproduction in a sentence?
Reproduction in plants can be both asexual and sexual. Reproduction is used correctly in the previous sentence. It is used to describe a process.
Plants derived via asexual reproduction from a single parent are?
Many plants use their roots for asexual production. Some plants that are reproduced asexually are dandelions, strawberries, Aspen and poplar trees.

How many parents are there in asexual?
There are no "parents" as such, as asexual reproduction is reproduction without the use of sex organs. Asexual reproduction is usually found in amoeba, and other single celled organisms.
Do bacterium use asexual reproduction?
Yes
What type of reproduction do most plants use?
The production of seeds is basically a sexual reproduction process.
