Some plants (especially flowering plants), mammals (such as humans, lions, etc.), almost all reptiles, most insects and most fish (eg. Guppy) undergo sexual reproduction.
sexual reproduction requires meiosis, a process in which a parent cell divides to in half and only have half on the chromosomes: 23 asexual reproduction is a process in which only one parent produces another organism :)
The most important difference between sexual and asexual reproduction is that sexual reproduction involves the fusion of genetic material from two parents, resulting in offspring with genetic diversity, while asexual reproduction involves a single parent and produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent.
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.
Fungi reproduce through both sexual and asexual methods. In sexual reproduction, two different mating types of fungi come together to exchange genetic material and form spores. This process creates genetic diversity. In asexual reproduction, fungi produce spores without the need for mating, resulting in genetically identical offspring. Sexual reproduction allows for genetic variation, while asexual reproduction produces clones of the parent organism.
Organisms differentiate between sexual and asexual reproduction based on the involvement of genetic material from two parents in sexual reproduction, leading to genetic variation, while asexual reproduction involves only one parent and produces genetically identical offspring.
Sexual reproduction requires an two haploid gametes fusing to form a single diploid organism. Asexual reproduction does not.
asexual reproduction is an exact copy made from only one organism. The latter is from two organisms.
Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of two half-cells, or gametes, to create an offspring, e.g. in humans. Asexual reproduction referes to reproduction without the need for another organism, e.g. binary fission (spliting) in bacteria.

They are both forms of 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 :)

Mitosis is asexual reproduction, meiosis is sexual reproduction.
Organisms differentiate between sexual and asexual reproduction based on the involvement of genetic material from two parents in sexual reproduction, leading to genetic variation, while asexual reproduction involves only one parent and produces genetically identical offspring.
The difference between sexual and asexual is that in sexual reproduction, there are two parents, and in asexual, there is only one. In sexual reproduction, the two parents mix up their genes and produce a mix between the two parents. Asexual reproduction produces an exact match of the parent, since there were only the genes from the one parent.
