Question
Distinguish between sexual and asexual reproduction.
Solution
| Asexual reproduction | Sexual reproduction | |
| i. | Reproduction that occurs with the help of somatic cells is called as asexual reproduction. | Reproduction that occurs with the help of two germ cells is called sexual reproduction. |
| ii. | This is uniparental reproduction, thus both male and female parent are not necessary | Male and female parents are necessary for sexual reproduction. |
| iii. | This reproduction occurs with the help of mitosis only. | This reproduction involves both mitosis and meiosis types of cell division. |
| iv. | The new individual formed by this method is genetically identical to its parent. | New individual formed by this method is genetically different from parents. |
| v. | Asexual reproduction occurs in different individuals by various methods like binary fission, multiple fission, budding, fragmentation, regeneration, vegetative propagation, spore formation, etc. | In all individuals, sexual reproduction occurs by gamete formation and fertilization. |
