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.
