Sexual reproduction involves the fertilization by two separate hosts , male and female, except in the case of asexual creatures, where the two are contained in one. Cell division occurs after fertilisation, when the two separate cells join, they start to divide.

Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of gametes from two different parents, leading to genetic diversity in offspring. Asexual reproduction involves producing genetically identical offspring from a single parent, resulting in little to no genetic variation. Sexual reproduction requires a mate, while asexual reproduction can occur independently.
in asexual reproductions plants are obtained without production of seeds or spores. asexual reproduction involves only one organisms/parents.
sexual reproduction involves the fusion of male and female gametes.
These are two very different things, but they are closely related. Sexual reproduction is obvious - there's sex, a sperm fertilises an egg and makes a baby. The Theory of Evolution is what Charles Darwin came up with. The idea is that within any species, you will have variations - just like every human is different, every giraffe, for example, will be slightly different from the next giraffe. They have different characteristics - perhaps one giraffe has a longer neck than another giraffe. Some variations will be more useful to the organism than others, and will give them a better chance of survival. For example, there might be a drought, and there's very little food to go around. The giraffe with the longer neck can reach higher up trees than the other one, so it has a better supply of food. The shorter-necked giraffe doesn't get as much to eat, so it might die. It doesn't get a chance to mate and reproduce offspring, so it can't pass on any of it's genes to the next generation. But the longer-necked giraffe lives on and reproduces, and it's offspring will inherit some of it's characteristics, such as the longer neck. So that baby giraffe will have a better chance of survival and being able to reproduce, and so it continues... Basically, over a very long period of time, species develop certain traits - hence all giraffes have quite long necks in the modern era. Depending on the conditions that the animals live in, different characteristics will be helpful for survival - which is why you get different breeds of dog or horse, for example, even though they're still the same species.
Sexual reproduction has two different gender and asexual reproduction has only one gender.
Similarities: Both sexual and asexual reproduction produce offspring. Both processes involve genetic material being passed down to the next generation. Both can lead to variations in the offspring. Differences: Sexual reproduction requires two parents, while asexual reproduction only involves one parent. Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of gametes, leading to genetic diversity, while asexual reproduction creates genetically identical offspring. Sexual reproduction is usually more complex and time-consuming than asexual reproduction.
Asexual
sexual and asexual.
Asexual reproduction involves a single parent and produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. Sexual reproduction involves two parents and produces offspring with genetic variation due to the combination of genetic material from both parents.
Mitosis is a form of asexual reproduction where a single cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells. This process is commonly observed in multicellular organisms for growth, repair, and asexual reproduction.
