Organism needs time to reach adulthood and to reproduce.
Requires the contribution of two parents.

Creates genetically identical offspring.
Organism doesn't have to waste energy to find a mate.
Requires the contribution of a single parent.
Explanation:
Sexual Reproduction:
Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of a male and female gamete. A gamete is a haploid cell that contains half of the chromosomes as in the parent cell. This process is called fertilization and it results in the formation of a zygote, a diploid cell that develops into an embryo and ultimately an individual.
Sexual reproduction involves two parents, each of which contributes one set of chromosomes (23) to the offspring.

Asexual reproduction produces an exact copy of one single parent. Offspring produced through asexual reproduction do not possess genetic variation.
Asexual reproduction occurs through four processes:
