Answer:

Sexual Reproduction

Sexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that involves two types of parents and the combining of genetic material of each parent. Parents produce gametes, and gametes fuse with each other during the sexual reproduction. As a result of syngamy, a diploid cell called zygote forms at the end of the sexual reproduction. Based on the types of gametes fusing with each other, there are two types of sexual reproduction; namely, isogamy and heterogamy. Isogamy is the union of structurally similar physiologically different gametes. It is found only in lower forms such as Protozoa. Heterogamy is the fusion of two clearly different kinds of gametes, distinguished as ovum and sperm.

Asexual Reproduction

Asexual reproduction is one of the two main modes of reproduction. It involves only one parent. Hence, the offsprings are genetically identical with the parent. Prokaryotes such as bacteria and unicellular eukaryotic organisms such as Amoeba and Paramoecium reproduce asexually by cell division or binary fission of the parent cell.
