Sexual Reproduction
Asexual Reproduction
Two parents are involved One parent is involved
Newborn are similar to their parents A new generation is an identical or true copy of their parent
It requires the formation of gametes It doesn’t require the formation of gametes
Special organs for reproduction are required. Special organs for reproduction are not required
Examples – Mangoes, coconut, Hibiscus etc. Examples – Potato, Jasmine, Rose

Asexual Reproduction Sexual Reproduction
Occurs in prokaryotic microorganisms and in some eukaryotic unicellular and multicellular organisms, lower invertebrates and plants Occurs almost in all types of multicellular organisms including humans, animals, and higher plants.
It is uniparental. It is usually bi-parental.
Gametes are not formed. Gametes are formed.
Somatic cells of parents are involved. Germ cells of parents are involved.
No fertilization occurs. Fertilization takes place.
No involvement of reproductive organs. Presence of fully developed reproductive organs.
Only mitosis type of cell division occurs. Both meiosis and mitosis type of cell division occurs.
The progeny and the parent are genetically identical. The progenies will be genetically different from the parents.
Characteristics of only one parent are inherited. Characteristics of both parents are inherited.
The genes and genetic material are just multiplied and passed on to new organisms from the parent. The genetic material undergoes intermixing from both parents to form a new set of genetic material.
Multiplication is very rapid and takes less time. Multiplication is not so rapid and takes a longer time to complete.
The number of offsprings produced may vary from two to many. The number of offsprings produced is comparatively lower.
No evolutionary significance. Has evolutionary significance in the population.
Bacterial fission, fragmentation, spore formation, budding of hydra are different types of asexual reproduction. Syngamy, external fertilization, and conjugation are different types of sexual reproduction
