What is the difference between sexual and asexual reproduction. Asexual is the creation of offspring from a single person and does not involve the joining of gametes, while sexual does and results in the creation of a being that is unique.

Offspring is made by a cell from the male and a cell of the female. Different steps are involved in the process.
