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.
