More than one. Statements 1, 3 and 4 have exceptions:
- 1) “Sexual reproduction requires two parents…” — exception: self‑fertilization/automixis in hermaphrodites and some plants/animals means a single individual can produce offspring sexually.
- 3) “…asexual reproduction does not [promote genetic variation].” — exception: mutations, mitotic recombination, horizontal gene transfer (in microbes) and other mechanisms can generate genetic variation in asexual lineages.
- 4) “Sexual reproduction involves parental care, while asexual reproduction does not.” — exception: parental care is independent of reproductive mode; many sexually reproducing species provide no care, and some asexually reproducing species do.
Statement 2 is a generalization but less clear-cut; sexual reproduction is typically more genetically complex (meiosis, gamete fusion) though “complexity” can be context‑dependent.
