<P> Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction by which offspring arise from a single organism , and inherit the genes of that parent only ; it does not involve the fusion of gametes , and almost never changes the number of chromosomes . Asexual reproduction is the primary form of reproduction for single - celled organisms such as archaea and bacteria . Many plants and fungi sometimes reproduce asexually . </P>
