Statement A: In Protists and Monerans, cell division itself is a mode of reproduction.
Statement B: Asexual reproduction is common among higher animals.

In Protists and Monerans, cell division itself is a mode of reproduction. In Protists and Monerans, the organism or the parent cell divides by mitosis into two to give rise to new individuals.
Asexual reproduction is common among single-celled organisms, and in plants and animals with relatively simple organization. It is generally not seen in higher animals.
