Asexual reproduction :-

It does not involve the fusion of gametes, and therefore, the offsprings produced are genetically identical to the parent. The organisms produced by asexual reproduction are less diverse in nature. This type of reproduction is practised widely by unicellular organisms.

Division of Asexual reproduction :-

1. Binary Fission

2. Budding

3. Fragmentation

4. Sporogenesis

Sexual reproduction :-

In sexual reproduction, male and female gametes are formed to produce an offspring. These gametes are either formed by the same individual or by different individuals of the opposite sex.
