Asexual reproduction is when one parent makes a new organism by itself, without needing a partner. Some features of asexual reproduction include: it creates offspring that are identical to the parent, it usually happens quickly, and it can occur in many kinds of living things, like plants and bacteria.
Sexual reproduction, on the other hand, needs two parents to create a new organism. Features of sexual reproduction include: it mixes the DNA from both parents, which makes offspring different from each other, and it usually takes longer since it involves finding a partner and forming a baby. This type of reproduction can lead to more variety in a population, which can help them survive in changing environments.
