Summary Introduction
To review:
The fundamental difference between sexual and asexual reproduction, in terms of features of offspring.
Introduction:
The reproduction is a biological process of producing new offspring from their parents. It is mainly divided into two types (1) Asexual reproduction and (2) Sexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction is based on the process of mitosis and the offspring produced are genetically identical and sexual reproduction involves the fusion of male and female gametes and based on meiosis, offspring produced are genetically differ from their parents.
