The true statement is:
Asexual reproduction is a simpler process than sexual reproduction.
The other statements are false for the following reasons:
-
Sexual reproduction produces more offspring than asexual reproduction: This is generally not true; asexual reproduction can result in a higher number of offspring in a shorter time frame.
-
Asexual reproduction occurs when two gametes fuse: This is incorrect; asexual reproduction does not involve the fusion of gametes, as it typically involves a single parent.
-
Sexual reproduction requires a single parent: This is false; sexual reproduction typically involves two parents that contribute gametes (sperm and egg).
