One of the advantages of asexual reproduction is that only one parent is needed. Once the organism is ready to reproduce, it can do so without waiting for a suitable mate.
Once an organism is established in a suitable habitat, it is able to reproduce rapidly to produce many new individuals in that particular habitat. This makes it very successful.
Once an individual is well adapted to an area, and has a successful genetic make-up, this is reproduced exactly many times to form many new individuals with that particular gene pattern.
