Asexual Reproduction

The mode of reproduction in which a new offspring is produced by a single parent is known as asexual reproduction. The new individuals produced are genetically and physically identical to each other, i.e., they are the clones of their parents.

Features of Asexual Reproduction:

  1. Only single parents are involved.
  2. The fertilization or gamete formation cannot take place.
  3. This process of reproduction occurs in a very short time.
  4. The organisms multiply and grow rapidly.
  5. In this offspring produced is genetically similar.
