Sexual reproduction allows for greater genetic variation. Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. Asexual reproduction occurs in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes ... Sexual reproduction, however, occurs only in eukaryotes.

The correct answer would be:

Sexual reproduction - allows for greater genetic variation, occurs only in eukaryotes. Asexual reproduction: produces offspring that have the same DNA as the parent. occurs in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

Sexual reproduction is a type of reproduction in which two organisms or parents often of the opposite gender are involved. It is mainly practiced by higher organisms and it involves formation and fusion of gametes due to which it provides greater genetic variation as compared to the asexual method.

In contrast, asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction in which only a single parent is involved. No gametes are formed and fertilize. In addition, the daughter cells produced contain identical genetic material due to they are called a clone.
