Answer:
Sexual reproduction
Sexual reproduction requires two parents. Each parent contributes a gamete - a sex cell that has half of the normal DNA of a regular body cell. In males, the gametes are sperm and in females, the gametes are eggs.
When these two gamete combine during fertilization, the result is a zygote, which then continues to develop into an embryo.

Asexual reproduction
Asexual reproduction requires only one parent.
There are many types of asexual reproduction. Four major types are:
1) Binary fission: Single parent cell doubles its DNA, then divides into two cells. Usually occurs in bacteria.

2) Budding: Small growth on surface of parent breaks off, resulting in the formation of two individuals. Occurs in yeast and some animals (like the hydra below).
Hydra reproduce asexually through budding
3) Fragmentation: Organisms break into two or more fragments that develop into a new individual. Occurs in many plants, as well as some animals (like coral, sponges, and starfish).
Starfish losing an arm. The arm fragment grows into another starfish and the original starfish regrows its lost arm.

This starfish has lost its arm. The fragment is growing into a new individual, while the parent regrows its lost arm.
4) Parthenogenesis: An embryo develops from an unfertilized cell. Occurs in invertebrates, as well as in some fish, amphibians, and reptiles.
