How
does the progeny formed from asexual reproduction differ from those
formed by sexual reproduction?

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. Organisms
undergoing this kind of reproduction produce offspring’s
that are not identical to them.
2.
Offsprings
thus produced do not show variations and are called clones.
Offspring’s
thus produced show variations from each other and their parents.
