answer: asexual reproduction produces genetically identical offspring; sexual reproduction produces genetically different offspring

Step-by-step explanation:

asexual reproduction is when a single organism uses its own DNA as a template to create another organism (through binary fission, fragmentation, budding, etc.) that is genetically identical

sexual reproduction is when two organisms create a combination of DNA (through a mixing of genes during meiosis, reproduction, etc.) to create an organism that is genetically different
