The major difference is that asexual reproduction in sea stars involves the regeneration of a new individual from a severed part of the sea star, while sexual reproduction involves the fusion of gametes from two separate individuals to produce offspring with genetic variation.

Sea stars are capable of both types of reproduction.
A Venn diagram of sexual and asexual reproduction would show two distinct circles, with sexual reproduction having traits such as genetic variation, combination of genetic material, and offspring with greater diversity. Asexual reproduction would include traits like identical offspring, rapid reproduction, and no genetic recombination. The overlapping area would represent organisms that can reproduce through both sexual and asexual means.
Asexual reproduction is where an organism uses methods such as budding or splitting. In asexual reproduction, it only involves one organism reproducing others of its species with no male and female sex cells. Sexual reproduction involves 2 organisms that use male and female sex cells to fertilize the eggs and reproduce sexually.An example of an organism that reproduces asexually would be a sea sponge.An example of an organism that reproduces sexually are humans or any other mammals.
Sea weed is Asexual because seeweed can reproduce its self with out needing 2 organisms to do half and half.
Sea urchins primarily reproduce sexually; they release eggs and sperm into the water for external fertilization. However, some species can also reproduce asexually through fragmentation, where a part of the sea urchin can grow into a new individual. Overall, sexual reproduction is the most common method for sea urchins.
