- The difference between asexual and sexual reproduction is that A. asexual reproduction occurs only in haplontic organisms, whereas sexual reproduction occurs only in diplontic organisms. B. asexual reproduction results from meiosis, whereas sexual reproduction results from mitosis. C. asexual reproduction occurs only in bacteria, whereas sexual reproduction occurs in plants and animals. O D. asexual reproduction results from the fusion of two gametes, whereas sexual reproduction produces clones of the parent organism. O E. asexual reproduction results in an organism that is identical to the parent, whereas sexual reproduction results in an organism that is not identical to either parent.arrow_forwardIn animals, which of the following distinguishes meiosis from mitosis? a.
