Summary Introduction

To review:

The asexual reproduction in fungi along with the advantages and limitations of sexual reproduction.

Introduction:

Fungi replicate in various forms. Many fungi reproduce both sexually and asexually. Asexual reproduction requires only one parent while the involvement of two parents is a necessity of sexual reproduction. New species that are genetically identical with the parent are created by asexual reproduction. That is why, they have precisely the same genes.
