Differentiate between asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction.

(A) Based on whether there is participation of one organism or two in the process of reproduction,it is of two types:
$1$. Asexual reproduction: When offspring are produced by a single parent with or without the involvement of gamete formation,the reproduction is asexual. In this method,a single individual is capable of producing offspring. As a result,the offspring produced are not only identical to one another but are also exact copies of their parent (clones).
$2$. Sexual reproduction: When two parents (of opposite sex) participate in the reproductive process and involve the fusion of male and female gametes,it is called sexual reproduction. This process involves the formation of male and female gametes,either by the same individual or by different individuals of the opposite sex. These gametes fuse to form the zygote,which develops into a new organism. It is an elaborate,complex,and slow process compared to asexual reproduction. Due to the fusion of gametes,sexual reproduction results in offspring that are not identical to the parents or amongst themselves.
