Question

Responses

Yes, because multicellular organisms reproduce sexually and unicellular organisms reproduce asexually.
Yes, because multicellular organisms reproduce sexually and unicellular organisms reproduce asexually.

Yes, because larger organisms reproduce sexually, and smaller organisms reproduce asexually.
Yes, because larger organisms reproduce sexually, and smaller organisms reproduce asexually.

No, because some complex organisms like komodo dragons can reproduce both ways.
No, because some complex organisms like komodo dragons can reproduce both ways.

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

Answer 1

The correct response is:

No, because some complex organisms like komodo dragons can reproduce both ways.

This statement highlights that some complex organisms have the ability to reproduce asexually in certain situations (like parthenogenesis in komodo dragons), and therefore the original assertion cannot be categorized as always true. Additionally, many simple organisms, such as bacteria, can reproduce asexually but that doesn't define complexity in terms of organismal structure or classification.
