In any gregarious social animal, there is a hierarchy in the group largely centred around sexuality. I would venture to suggest that SOME subordinate animals of social species (eg. wolves, lions, meerkats, great apes) are to some degree asexual. They don't particularly contest the alpha animals because they don't particularly care if they get to mate or not.
The new organisms, called offspring, are genetically identical to the parent cell. There is no fusing (joining) of cells in this type of reproduction. Asexual reproduction is more common in invertebrate animals than in vertebrate animals. Unicellular and multicellular plants can reproduce both asexually and sexually.
