This document discusses and compares asexual and sexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction involves one parent and results in offspring that are genetically identical clones. There are three types of asexual reproduction: binary fission, budding, and regeneration. Sexual reproduction involves two parents and results in offspring that are genetically different from the parents. It involves the use of male sperm and female egg gametes that join during fertilization to form a diploid cell with the full number of chromosomes.
