Answer 1

The true statement is:

Asexual reproduction is a simpler process than sexual reproduction.

The other statements are incorrect because:

• Sexual reproduction typically requires two parents, not one.
• Sexual reproduction usually produces fewer offspring than asexual reproduction, as asexual reproduction can lead to rapid population growth.
• Asexual reproduction does not involve the fusion of gametes; that process is characteristic of sexual reproduction.
