Asexual reproduction does not involve genetic fusion while sexual reproduction involves fusion of male and female gametes to form a zygote.
Species reproducing sexually have better chances of survival. This is because sexual reproduction gives rise to more variations which are essential for evolution as well as survival of species under unfavourable conditions.

Asexual Reproduction involves only one parent and offsprings are identical.
Sexual-Reproduction involves two parents and genetic variation occurs in the offsprings.
Sexually reproducing species have a better chance of survival because their-variations developed during reproduction enables the newer offsprings to survive the changes in the environment. It allows the formation of new variants by the combination of the DNA from two different individuals, typically one of each sex
