Asexual reproduction does not involve sex cells or gametes (produced through meiosis). Rather, it is reproduction by mitosis allowing a new, genetically identical individual to be produced. Both methods of reproduction have advantages and disadvantages. Sexual reproduction allows genetic variation and allows the development of a population that is specifically adapted to its surroundings (and is therefore more likely to survive). However, when a very desirable combination of traits is found, sexual reproduction risks losing them in the randomness of the process. Asexual reproduction does not allow genetic variation, but guarantees reproduction (no dependence on others). It rapidly increases numbers of an organism and keeps its desired combination of traits. Many plants reproduce use a combination of sexual and asexual reproduction to get the benefits of both methods..

meiosis leads to genetic variation as in the pachytene stage of meiosis crossing over takes place. for more details u can see on google search engine

any reproduction in living beings (animals plants protists bacteria and fungi) both sexually and assexualy causes genetic variation email me if u wanna know more thenextiommi@yahoo.com

all kinds, but it would seem sexual reproduction would give more variety faster, as there are more genes to choose from, and a better likelihood of genetic mutations.
