The population can increase rapidly when conditions are favorable. Only one parent is needed. It is more time and energy efficient as you don't need a mate. It is faster than sexual reproduction. In asexual reproduction, only one parent is required to produce an offspring. The primary advantage of asexual reproduction is the fact that offspring can be successfully created without the need for a partnership. It occurs over a short period of time without the need to develop the genetics to form a gender.
