Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of male and female gametes, a process known as fertilization, and results in offspring that are genetically different due to contributions from both parents.
Asexual reproduction, on the other hand, takes place with only one parent and doesn't involve any damage, meaning there's no mixing of genetic material and no genetic variation.
Eukaryotic organisms such as plants, fungi, and a few animals achieve asexual reproduction through mitosis.
Chaotic organisms such as bacteria asexually reproduce by binary fission.
