Asexual reproduction
- Number of parents: one
- Genetic information passed: offspring inherit essentially identical DNA (clones; changes only by mutation)
- Genetic variation: low
- Example: bacteria (binary fission)

Sexual reproduction
- Number of parents: two
- Genetic information passed: offspring receive a mix of DNA from both parents (via gametes)
- Genetic variation: high
- Example: humans (or flowering plants)
