The true statement among the options provided is:
Asexual reproduction is a simpler process than sexual reproduction.
Here's a brief explanation of why the other options are false:
-
Sexual reproduction requires a single parent. - This is false; sexual reproduction typically involves two parents.
-
Sexual reproduction produces more offspring than asexual reproduction. - This is not accurate; asexual reproduction usually leads to more offspring in a shorter time as it involves simpler processes without the need for mating.
-
Asexual reproduction occurs when two gametes fuse. - This is false; the fusion of two gametes is a characteristic of sexual reproduction, not asexual reproduction.
Thus, the option stating that "Asexual reproduction is a simpler process than sexual reproduction" is correct.
