Asexual Reproduction

Asexual reproduction is any reproductive process that doesn't involve meiosis or syngamy. Because a asexual organism lacks new genetic material, it clones itself and makes genetically identical organisms. Asexual can be an advantage, or disadvantage. One advantage is that it can create individuals quickly and in large quantities. However, if something goes wrong, like a fatal mutation, the whole society of clones can be destroyed. These raspberries reproduce through asexual reproductions. They are all clones.
