(In kids words)

Answer 1

Asexual reproduction is when one parent is needed to create offspring that are genetically identical. This means that the offspring will have the same traits as the parent. Asexual reproduction is faster than sexual reproduction because it doesn't require finding a mate. Asexual reproduction is common in plants, fungi, and some animals like starfish and jellyfish.

Sexual reproduction is when two parents are needed to create offspring that are genetically unique. This means that the offspring will have a mix of traits from both parents. Sexual reproduction takes longer than asexual reproduction because it requires finding a mate and combining genetic material. Sexual reproduction is common in mammals, birds, reptiles, and most insects.
