Compare and contrast the general processes of asexual and sexual reproduction. What will be an ideal response?
Both processes involve the formation of new individuals. In asexual reproduction the parent
cell splits (usually via mitosis), buds, or fragments to produce new individuals that are
genetically identical to the parent. In sexual reproduction, new individuals are produced via
the union of two gametes (produced via meiosis), and the offspring are genetically different
from the parent.
