Solution
Asexual reproduction:
Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction when only one parent participates and there is no creation or fusing of the gametes.
An organism can reproduce asexually by creating clones that are genetically and physically identical to the parent.
Asexual reproduction techniques like binary fission and budding produce progeny who are genetically identical to their parents and are therefore clones.
