Complex organisms reproduce sexually, and simple organisms reproduce asexually. Is this statement always true?(1 point) Responses Yes, because larger organisms reproduce sexually, and smaller organisms reproduce asexually. Yes, because larger organisms reproduce sexually, and smaller organisms reproduce asexually. Yes, because multicellular organisms reproduce sexually and unicellular organisms reproduce asexually. Yes, because multicellular organisms reproduce sexually and unicellular organisms reproduce asexually. No, because complex organisms like starfish and plants use asexual reproduction more often. No, because complex organisms like starfish and plants use asexual reproduction more often. No, because some complex organisms like komodo dragons can reproduce both ways.

The statement "Complex organisms reproduce sexually, and simple organisms reproduce asexually" is not always true. The correct response is:

No, because complex organisms like starfish and plants use asexual reproduction more often.

This option highlights that some complex organisms can reproduce asexually, indicating that the classification of organisms into "complex" or "simple" does not strictly determine their method of reproduction. Additionally, as you mentioned, certain complex organisms, such as komodo dragons, can reproduce both sexually and asexually (through a process called parthenogenesis). Thus, the relationship between complexity and reproductive method is not absolute.

You are wrong. The answer is No, because complex organisms like KOMODO DRAGONS use asexual reproduction more often

I apologize for any confusion. However, it's important to clarify that while Komodo dragons are fascinating because they can reproduce both sexually and asexually (through parthenogenesis), this is not a common reproductive strategy among complex organisms overall. In fact, sexual reproduction is typical for most complex, multicellular organisms.

The statement about complex and simple organisms reproducing sexually or asexually is an oversimplification, and the more accurate response is:

No, because complex organisms like starfish and plants use asexual reproduction more often.

This highlights that asexual reproduction can also occur in complex organisms, which points out the complexity of reproductive strategies across different organisms, irrespective of their complexity classification.

Thank you for your understanding, and if you have further questions or need clarification, feel free to ask!
