• One parent creates genetically identical offspring, ex: Yeast.

• Reproductive Cell: None, somatic cells divide.

• Advantages: Faster reproduction, and no need for a partner.

• Disadvantage: Lacks genetic diversity, which makes populations vulnerable to enviromental changes.

• Two parents combine genetic material, which produces more genetically diverse offspring. 

• Reproductive Cell: Gametes

• Advantages: While being diverse it also increases adaptability. 

• Disadvantage: Slower reproduction and it requires more energy.
