Question

What is Asexual reproduction .......

Answer 1

Answer:

Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction by which offspring arise from a single organism, and inherit the genes of that parent only;

it does not involve the fusion of gametes, and almost never changes the number of chromosomes.

Many plants and fungi sometimes reproduce asexually.

Answer 2

Answer:

Asexual reproduction:

The process of formation of new organisms by an organism of same species without involvement of gametes is called as sexual reproduction.

Advantage of asexual reproduction:

It is a fast process ( i.e. rate of reproduction is rapid ).

Disadvantage of asexual reproduction:

It does not involve fusion of two different gametes, thus the new organisms formed are genetically identical to the parent cells. i.e., genetic recombination does not occur. Thus, there is a lack of genetic variations.
