Both asexual and sexual reproduction leads to offspring. They vary in the production process and nucleic acids (DNA) of the offspring.
In asexual reproduction, there is no need for an animal to find a partner to mate with, therefore speeding up the process of procreation. This does however come with certain disadvantages, one of which being all the offspring have the exact same genetic sequence as their parents. Meaning, if humans were to reproduce asexually, their son/daughter would be identical in terms of physique and genotypes.
In sexual reproduction, one must find a partner to mate with, allowing for the mix of DNA. That produces a whole new human being, a different phenotype and genotype.

Sexual reproduction is the process which involves two parents. Parent identity is not lost. It is a process in which offsprings are formed due to the fusion of gametes. In this type of reproduction variations occur due the error in the copy of dna which helps in evolution. In asexual type of reproduction offsprings are formed without any fusion of gametes. The parent identity is totally lost in this type of reproduction. Slight variations takes place and hence do not helps in evolutions.
