Asexual reproduction involves only 1 parent. The daughter cells / offspring are the exact clones of the parent. There’s no variety. The end products are only 2 daughter cells. Sexual reproduction involves 2 parents (a mate). The offspring consists of a mixture of genes from both parents. There’s more variety to the offspring. 4 daughter cells are produced in sexual reproduction. Both undergo cell division. Asexual reproduction = mitosis Sexual reproduction = meiosis. Sexual reproduction produces the gametes, asexual produces body cells
