In asexual reproduction there is only one "parent". This being said, the DNA of the offspring is identical to its parent, causing a lack in diversity. Meanwhile in sexual reproduction it is the combination of two sets of different chromosomes. The chromosomes that a female and male haploid gamete holds, are combined and made an organism. When they are combined they make a diploid zygote cell.
