Asexual means "not sexual": These organisms do not use sexual reproduction, which requires two parents. An asexual organism therefore only has one parent.

Asexual organisms are simple and single-celled (unicellular). When the cell divides, the organism had reproduced. This has an advantage: The organism doesn't need another of its own kind to pass its genetic material on. It also has a disadvantage: The genetics of asexual organisms are less diverse. Sexual reproduction allows organisms to be more adaptible than asexual reproduction, since more unique combinations of genes can result with sexual reproduction.

What is the definition for asexual reproduction?
