The true statement is: Asexual reproduction is a simpler process than sexual reproduction.

The other statements are not accurate:

  • Sexual reproduction does not necessarily produce more offspring than asexual reproduction; in fact, asexual reproduction can often produce more offspring in a shorter time frame.
  • Asexual reproduction does not involve the fusion of gametes; that is a characteristic of sexual reproduction.
  • Sexual reproduction typically requires two parents, not a single parent.
