S.no. | Progeny formed from asexual reproduction | Progeny formed from sexual reproduction |
1 | Asexual reproduction does not involve the fusion of the male and the female gamete. Organisms undergoing this kind of reproduction produce offspring’s that are morphologically and genetically identical to them. | Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of the male and the female gamete of two individuals, typically one of each sex.
