The true statement is: Asexual reproduction is a simpler process than sexual reproduction.
The other statements are false:
- Sexual reproduction does not require a single parent; it typically requires two parents (each providing gametes).
- Asexual reproduction does not involve the fusion of gametes; that process is characteristic of sexual reproduction.
- Sexual reproduction can produce fewer offspring than asexual reproduction in certain contexts, as asexual reproduction can lead to rapid population growth in some organisms.
