Answer 1

The process of asexual reproduction works by mitosis in which a parent cell divides into two or more new identical daughter cells. The number of chromosomes is never changed in such kind of division. A cell must make a copy of its genetic material before the process to ensure that each daughter cell carries the same genome as the parent cell. Vegetative propagation, budding, binary fission etc are examples of some of the methods of asexual reproduction.
