These three should clarify the basics.
Explanation:
-
Mitosis has Prophase, Metaphase , Anaphase and Telophase; Asexual reproduction does not go through all these stages of cell cycle.
-
Mitosis happens only in somatic cells of higher organisms; Asexual reproduction occurs in lower single celled organisms.
-
During Mitosis, the genetic material condenses to form chromosomes; the genetic material does not condense during asexual reproduction.
