Some organisms reproduce by sexual reproduction (such as horses, cattle, donkeys etc.) and some others reproduce asexually (such as bacteria) So it depends on what organisms you are talking about.

Differences between sexual and asexual reproduction?
Sexual Reproduction : When two organisms have sex to reproduce. Example : humans, mammals, etc. Asexual Reproduction : When it's only one organism reproducing without the help of another organism. Example : Flowers, Some plants, even some fish. Hope that helped :)
What is the difference of sexual and asexual propagation?
Sexual reproduction requires two parties, whereas asexual reproduction requires only one. For example, reproduction among humans is not asexual, because there must be both a man and a woman involved. Bacterial reproduction however IS asexual because it reproduces by itself through binary fusion.
What is it called when offspring are produced from two parents?
I believe you are thinking of sexual reproduction. The opposite of sexual reproduction is asexual reproduction which occurs when offspring are produced without a male. Asexual reproduction is common among certain plants and single-celled organisms like bacteria and protists. Some species of animal can switch back and forth between sexual and asexual reproduction. Turkeys are a good example of this. Female turkeys can produce fertilized eggs in the absence of a male. Aphids are also capable of producing young in the absence of a male.
Can a new organism grow from part of the parent organism?
Yes. This is the process of asexual reproduction. Two examples are: when a starfish has one of it's points removed, cut off, or otherwise, un-attached, the dismembered point will then grow into a completely new starfish of the same species with the exact same D.N.A and genetic material as the parent starfish, because asexual reproduction passes the exact same genes off to the newborn. As opposed to sexual reproduction, like with humans. When we have a child, the genes are taken from half of one parent and half of the other to leave the actual genes up to chance, working from those that have come from the parent. My other example is that, once a bacterial organism has reached the stage at which to reproduce, the newborn will break off of the parent cell, in the famous process of multiplication among bacteria.
Reproduction that does not produce variation among the offspring?
Asexual

Does amoeba have separate sexes?
No. They are asexual. Which means they separate in order to reproduce by meiosis creating no variation among the species
What is a group of organisms that reproduce only among themselves?
Asexual reproduction occurs for single-celled organisms such as the archaea, bacteria, ameoba and protists. Many plants and fungi reproduce this way as well. Prokaryotes also reproduce asexually. Multi-cell organisms do not reproduce asexually.
Which of the following is least likely to be a source of genetic variation among living organisms?
Things that kill the organism, such as, immature lungs at birth.
What type of reproduction occurs among human being?
Reproduction may be aseual or sexual. In asexual reproduction, a single individual produces another by itself.
What are the patterns of reproduction among organisms?
Typically Asexual, where the offspring is idenical to the parent (budding, fission) and Sexual, when offspring shares genetic material of the two parents.
What is neotenic?
1.The attainment of sexual maturity by an organism still in it's larva stage.2. Retention of juvenile characteristics in the adults of species, as among certain amphibians.1.The attainment of sexual maturity by an organism still in it's larva stage.2.

Do animals reproduce asexually?
There are very few larger animals that reproduce asexually. (The "a" prefix means "not"; so "asexual" means "non-sexual". ) Among the more interesting ones are some species of shark. Under rare circumstances, female sharks in aquariums may lay eggs which will hatch into new, identical female sharks without the presence of any male sharks. There are some species of lizards capable of this as well. Among mammals, none reproduce asexually.
