Complex organisms reproduce sexually and simple organisms reproduce asexually. Is this statement always true

yes because multicellular reproduce sexually and unicellular organisms reproduce asexually
no because some complex ogranisms like komodo dragons can reproduce both ways
yes because larger organisms reproduce sexually and smaller organism
No because complex organisms like starfish and plants use asexual reproduction more often

No, this statement is not always true. While it is generally true that complex organisms, such as multicellular organisms, tend to reproduce sexually, and simple organisms, such as unicellular organisms, tend to reproduce asexually, there are exceptions to this rule. Some complex organisms, like certain reptiles (e.g., komodo dragons) and plants, have the ability to reproduce both sexually and asexually. Additionally, some complex organisms, such as starfish, have the ability to reproduce asexually more frequently than sexually. Therefore, the statement is not always true.

No, the statement is not always true. While it is generally true that complex organisms tend to reproduce sexually and simple organisms reproduce asexually, there are exceptions. Some complex organisms, like certain reptiles such as Komodo dragons, have the ability to reproduce both sexually and asexually. Additionally, there are complex organisms like starfish and certain plants that predominantly use asexual reproduction. So, it is not always accurate to say that all complex organisms reproduce sexually and all simple organisms reproduce asexually.

The statement "Complex organisms reproduce sexually and simple organisms reproduce asexually" is not always true. While it is generally true that complex organisms, such as multicellular organisms, tend to reproduce sexually, and simple organisms, such as unicellular organisms, tend to reproduce asexually, there are exceptions.

One exception is that some complex organisms, like komodo dragons, can reproduce both sexually and asexually. This means that they have the ability to reproduce thual reproduction but also have the capability for asexual reproduction.

Another exception is that the distinction between complex and simple organisms is not solely based on size. For example, starfish and certain plants, which can be considered complex organisms, reproduce primarily through asexual reproduction.

Therefore, it is incorrect to say that complex organisms always reproduce sexually and simple organisms always reproduce asexually. It is important to consider specific organisms and their reproductive strategies, as there can be variations and exceptions to general patterns of reproduction.
