The advantages of Asexual Reproduction are:

  • It is a faster means of reproduction  
  • Less energy required for reproduction
  • Number of progeny produced is more


The disadvantage of Asexual Reproduction is:

  • The daughter offspring look exactly and have the same genetic material as the parent
    lack of genetic variation. So as a result the population may go extinct with dramatic changes in environment.

 

The advantage of Sexual Reproduction is:

  • It allows for genetic variation due to the involvement of two parents

The advantages of Sexual Reproduction are:

  • It is a slower process

  • It  requires more energy 
  • Lesser number of progeny can be produced at a time
