| Feature | Sexual Reproduction | Asexual Reproduction |
|---|---|---|

| Genetic variation | High (offspring are genetically diverse) | Low (offspring are genetically identical to parent) |
| Gametes | Involves the fusion of male and female gametes | Does not involve gametes |
| Offspring | Genetically different from parents | Genetically identical to the parent (clones) |
| Speed | Generally slower | Generally faster |
| Energy cost | Higher (e.g., for flowers, pollinators, seeds) | Lower |
| Adaptability | Better chance of adapting to changing environments | Poor adaptation to changing environments |
| Examples | Seed formation in flowering plants | Cuttings, runners, tubers, bulbs |
