There is less genetic variety in asexual reproduction.

Explanation:

In asexual reproduction, organisms are basically being copied. There is only one set of DNA that is being copied between generations, so all offspring have the same DNA (unless there is a mutation).

In sexual reproduction, since each gamete contains half the genetic information for the organism being produced, there are many combinations possible, each of which would produce a genetically unique offspring.
