Asexual reproduction produces genetically identical offspring, while sexual reproduction results in genetically diverse offspring through the combination of genetic material from two parents.
Asexual reproduction produces genetically identical offspring, while sexual reproduction results in genetically diverse offspring through the combination of genetic material from two parents.

Asexual reproduction is slower than sexual reproduction, which is always faster due to the involvement of two parents.
Asexual reproduction is slower than sexual reproduction, which is always faster due to the involvement of two parents.

Both asexual and sexual reproduction create offspring that are genetically identical to the parents.

Answer 1

The statement that accurately describes the key differences between asexual and sexual reproduction is:

Asexual reproduction produces genetically identical offspring, while sexual reproduction results in genetically diverse offspring through the combination of genetic material from two parents.

This correctly highlights the main distinction between the two forms of reproduction regarding genetic variation.
