It cannot. Asexual reproduction is where a simple organism splits itself into exactly two halfs. Each half looks identical to the original organism before asexual reproduction.
When mutation occurs during DNA replicaton
Produces unique offspring instead of genetic copies.
Parrots reproduce sexually, like other birds. That's why you always have a breeding pair, a father and a mother. Both parents contribute chromosomes to the offspring, creating genetically unique individuals. Asexual reproduction would mean that there was only one parent contributing chromosomes, so the genetic make up would either be the same as the parent (if the parent split into two/more) or with two sex cells of the parent recombining to create something semi-unique (for instance, if a flower self-pollinated)
Honey bees are unique because they make honey -- the only food eaten by man that is produced by insects.

Paramecium are capable of both sexual and asexual reproduction.Description and SignificanceParamecium are members of the phylum Ciliophora. They share many common characteristics with the rest of their phylum, but are also unique. For example, their shape is quite different from that of many other Ciliophora. They are also famous for their predator-prey relationship with Didinium. Parameciumare known for their avoidance behavior. If an encounters a negative stimiulus, it is capable of rotating up to 360 degrees to find an escape route. Genome StructureMacronuclear DNA in Paramecium has a very high gene density. The macronucleus can contain up to 800 copies of each gene. Research on the genome structure of Paramecium is still largely incomplete. However, the genomes of some species are beginning to be sequenced. For example, the complete mitochondrion genome for Paramecium aurelia has been established. The complete macronuclear genome of Paramecium tetraurelia has also been sequenced.Cell Structure and MetabolismParamecium are ciliated unicellular organisms. The cilia cover the entire body. Like other ciliates, they are multinucleated. Paramecium may eject trichocyts when they detect food, in order to better capture their prey. These trichocyts are filled with protiens. Trichocysts can also be used as a method of self-defense.Paramecium are heterotrophs. Their common form of prey is bacteria. A single organism has the ability to eat 5,000 bacteria a day. They are also known to feed on yeasts, algae, and small protozoa. Paramecium capture their prey through phagocytosis.Paramecium are capable of both sexual and asexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction is the most common, and this is accomplished by the organism dividing transversely. The macronucleus elongates and splits. Under ideal conditions, Paramecium can reproduce asexually two or three tiems a day. Normally, Paramecium only reproduce sexually under stressful conditions. This occurs via gamete agglutination and fusion. Two Paramecium join together and their respective micronuclei undergo meiosis. Three of the resulting nuceli disintegrate, the fourth undergoes mitosis. Daughter nuclei fuse and the cells separate. The old macronucleus disintegrates and a new one is formed. This process is usually followed by asexual reproduction.EcologyParamecium live in aquatic environments, usually in stagnant, warm water. The species Paramecium bursaria forms symbiotic relationships with green algae. The algae live in its cytoplasm. Algal photosynthesis provides a food source for Paramecium. Some species form relationships with bacteria. For example, Paramecium caudatum hosts Holospora obtusa in its macronucleus. This bacteria is specific to the macronucleus of Paramecium caudatum; they cannot grow outside of this organism. This species acquires heat-shock resistance when infected with Holospora obtusa, which contributes to ciliary motion. Paramecium are also well known as prey for Didinium.Paramecia play a role in the carbon cycle because the bacteria they eat are often found on decaying plants. Paramecium will eat the decaying plant matter in addition to the bacteria, further aiding decomposition.Paramecia can be used as model organisms in research. Currently, they are being used a great deal in genetics research. For example, recent research involves inactivating Paramecium genes for studying functional analysis by homology-dependent gene silencing. They can also be used to study membrane excitability and the duplication of basal bodies.http://microbewiki.kenyon.edu/index.php/Paramecium

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.
There is asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction. In asexual reproduction the offspring will get the exact same appearance and exact same genes the parents have (usually plants such as flowers). In sexual reproduction each off spring will get two sets of chromosomes from each parent (most animals such as humans). Although similar they are very unique unlike offspring from asexual reproduction.no this sucks
An individual of sexual reproduction inherits half its genes from its one parent and the other half of its genes from another parent. Individuals which are produced from asexual reproduction are genetically identical to their one and only parent.
Sexual reproduction
Produces unique offspring instead of genetic copies.
Asexual reproduction takes place mostly in plants.this is when the flower's pollen reaches the ovule in the stigma and fertilizes it.sexual reproduction as in humans involve 2 organism usually of the same species partaking in sexual intercourse with the male depositing sperm on the female's vagina in the hope of fertilizing the egg.one main difference between asexual and sexual reproduction is that asexual does not enable variation as sex cells come from the same organism(haemophrodite) and sex cells in sexual reproduction comes from 2 organisms producing a unique individual.
Reproduction is divided into sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction is a form of cloning where all offspring are exactly the same. The genes are mixed in sexual reproduction and the result is a completely unique individual.
