Solution

The correct options are
A Being uniparental
D Forming identical offsprings
Asexual reproduction involves only one parent, while sexual reproduction is usually biparental. Asexual reproduction involves no formation and fusion of gametes, unlike sexual reproduction. It involves male and female gametes. Fertilisation of the two results in the formation of zygote. Offsprings produced in case of asexual reproduction are exact copies of their parents. Whereas sexual reproduction involves similarities as well as differences (variations). These differences are due to mixing of genes from the two parents.
