Answer

• 1.Asexual reproduction
  Explanation:
  Reproduction can be sexual or asexual. For asexual reproduction, an individual produces a genetically identical offspring. This reproduction type does not form a new gene combination like it happens in sexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction can create a new gene combination by recombination during meiosis, crossing over involving exchange of gene sequences between homologous chromosomes or during fertilization by selecting most viable reproductive cells.
