Solution

Asexual reproduction:

  1. Asexual reproduction is the process of reproducing without fusing the gametes.
  2. The whole set of genes from the parent is passed down to the offspring.
  3. They are carbon copies or clones of their parents.

Asexual reproduction in humans:

  1. Humans can also procreate asexually.
  2. It takes place without the gametes being fertilized.
  3. It includes monozygotic twins and IVF.

Monozygotic twins :

  1. Monozygotic twins are an example of this.
  2. The egg is fertilized sexually, and the embryo is produced, but the embryo splits into two via asexual division.

In-vitro reproduction.

  1. Another method of asexual reproduction in humans is the procedure of in-vitro reproduction, which is carried out artificially.
  2. The egg is united in this small portion of the sperm in the laboratory, which then develops and matures into a new baby.
