Planaria are hermaphrodites, possessing both testes and ovaries. Thus, they can reproduce asexually with their own gametes or sexually with another planarian. In asexual reproduction, the planarian detaches its tail end and each half regrows the lost parts by regeneration. However several problems can occur with this, so this does not happen very often. Instead, in sexual reproduction, each planarian transports its excretion to the other planarian, giving and receiving sperm. Eggs develop inside the body and are shed in capsules. Weeks later, the eggs hatch and grow into adults. Sexual reproduction is desirable because it enhances the survival of the species by increasing the level of genetic diversity.
Asexual reproduction allows for rapid reproduction and efficient use of resources, while sexual reproduction promotes genetic diversity and adaptation to changing environments.
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.
The two main ways of reproduction are sexual reproduction, which involves the combination of genetic material from two parents to create offspring with genetic diversity, and asexual reproduction, which involves producing offspring without the need for genetic material from another individual.
In asexual reproduction, there is typically only one parent involved. The offspring is produced through mitosis or budding, where the genetic material of the parent is passed on to the offspring without the need for genetic contribution from another individual.
Reproduction in plants can be both asexual and sexual. Reproduction is used correctly in the previous sentence. It is used to describe a process.
The vast majority of animals practice some kind of sexual reproduction. There are a few minor life forms that use asexual reproduction.
Yes they are. Such as Frogs they use the same kind of DNA.

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.
