Solution

The major difference is that offspring produced by asexual reproduction are genetically identical clones of the parent, while progeny produced by sexual reproduction have genetic variation due to the fusion of two dissimilar gametes from different parents. This results in offspring showing new combinations of genes and greater variation.
