Diffuse centromeres - in asexual organisms where the offspring is an exact genetic copy of the parent, there are limited sources of genetic variability.

Mitotic recombination is a type of genetic recombination that may occur in somatic cells during mitosis in both sexual and asexual organisms.

Observations suggest that Naegleria is primarily an asexual organism that reproduces by division of its amoebae to produce substantial clonal populations.

Muller's ratchet is the gradual, but irreversible accumulation of deleterious mutations in asexual organisms.

For unknown reasons many asexual organisms are polyploid.

In asexual organisms, genes are inherited together, or linked, as they cannot mix with genes of other organisms during reproduction.

For example, some species concepts apply more readily toward sexually reproducing organisms while others lend themselves better toward asexual organisms.

Bacteria, as asexual organisms, inherit identical copies of their parent's genes (i.e., they are clonal).

Among protists and prokaryotes there is a plethora of supposedly asexual organisms.
