The true statement is:

Asexual reproduction is a simpler process than sexual reproduction.

The other statements are false:

  1. Sexual reproduction produces more offspring than asexual reproduction. (Generally, asexual reproduction can produce more offspring more quickly.)

  2. Sexual reproduction requires a single parent. (Sexual reproduction typically involves two parents.)

  3. Asexual reproduction occurs when two gametes fuse. (Asexual reproduction does not involve gametes; it often involves just one parent and does not include fusion of gametes.)
