Asexual Reproduction: creates genetically identical offspring,  organism doesn’t have to waste energy to find a mate organism, requires the contribution of a single parent

Sexual reproduction: creates genetically unique offspring, organism needs time to reach adulthood to reproduce, requires the contribution of two parents

The correct

Explanation: Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction which includes only one parent. It includes methods like fission, budding, fragmentation, et cetera.

It requires less energy and time as it does not require energy to find a suitable mate.

It produces genetically identical offspring due to which the genetic diversity of the population is very low.

In contrast, in sexual reproduction, the genetic material of the offspring is contributed by two parent due to which the genetic diversity of the population is high comparatively.

In addition, event of crossing over during gamete formation also adds to the genetic diversity of the population.

Thus, sexual reproduction produces genetically unique offspring.

It includes production of gametes which takes place in organisms once they reach the age of adulthood.
