The true statement is:
Asexual reproduction is a simpler process than sexual reproduction.
Here are brief explanations for why the other statements are false:
-
Sexual reproduction produces more offspring than asexual reproduction. (False: Asexual reproduction often produces more offspring quickly because it does not require a mate.)
-
Sexual reproduction requires a single parent. (False: Sexual reproduction involves two parents contributing gametes.)
-
Asexual reproduction occurs when two gametes fuse. (False: Asexual reproduction does not involve gametes; it typically involves only one parent and can include methods like budding, fission, or vegetative propagation.)
