Asexual reproduction occurs by cell division during mitosis to produce two or more genetically identical offspring. Sexual reproduction occurs by the release of haploid gametes (e.g., sperm and egg cells) that fuse to produce a zygote with genetic characteristics contributed by both of the parent organisms.The different types of asexual reproduction are binary fission, budding, vegetative propagation, spore formation (sporogenesis), fragmentation, parthenogenesis, and apomixis. The organisms that reproduce through asexual means are bacteria, archaea, many plants, fungi, and certain animals.
