If you are talking about individual cell, then most cells reproduce asexually. Some cells such as bacteria can share genetic material, via plasmid transfer, coupling etc. But the cells, say, within your body, just divide asexually.
The sex cells divide asexually until they become haploid cells (with only half the number of chromosomes). They then take part in sexual reproduction.

No, many organisms such as bacteria, protists, plants, and fungi go through asexual reproduction, which can take a variety of forms.
Many species are able to alternate between both strategies, which is known as "heterogamy".
