The organism which uses the asexual mode of reproduction undergoes mitosis type of cell division.
Mitosis is a type of cell division which divides the parent cells into two daughter cells with the same genetic material, therefore, cells can be compared.
<u>Similarity
</u>
1. Daughter cells are the exact copy of the parent cell so are known as clones.
2. No genetic variation is observed in the daughter cells.
3. Daughter cell contains the same genetic material with the same ploidy or chromosome number.
<u>Differences
</u>
parent cell is one but 2 daughter cells are produced.
Asexual reproduction = Binary Fission = Mitosis The cell at the end of asexual reproduction compare to the original cell: at the end is called daughter cell, at beginning is parent cell; both have same number of chromosomes (2n = diploid).
