In order to survive as a species, organisms must pass on their genetic information from one generation to the next. This is known as **reproduction**. Organisms can pass on their genetic information through asexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction is a form of reproduction that involves **one** parent. The offspring that is created from the parent is **genetically identical**. The offspring is genetically identical because the cell went through a form of cell division known as **mitosis**. At the end of mitosis, **two** identical daughter cells are produced. Three types of asexual reproduction are **binary fission**, budding, and **fragmentation**. There are several advantages in asexual reproduction; they include: only one parent is needed, asexual reproduction is efficient in terms of time and **energy**, and a population can grow quickly as long as conditions are **favorable**. The disadvantages of asexual reproduction include the fact that there is a lack of **genetic diversity** because the offspring are identical to the parent, and the fact that **diseases** can easily occur.
