  • Asexual reproduction involves only one parent.
  • It is common in single-celled organisms like bacteria.
  • There is no fusion of gametes, leading to no mixing of genetic information.
  • Offspring are genetically identical, also known as clones.
  • Mitosis is the type of cell division used in asexual reproduction.
  • During mitosis, one parent cell divides to produce two genetically identical daughter cells.
  • In bacteria, mitosis is also referred to as binary fission.
