The true statement is: Asexual reproduction is a simpler process than sexual reproduction.

Here’s a brief explanation for the other statements:

  • Sexual reproduction produces more offspring than asexual reproduction. This is not necessarily true; asexual reproduction can lead to the rapid production of many offspring.
  • Asexual reproduction occurs when two gametes fuse. This statement is false; asexual reproduction does not involve the fusion of gametes.
  • Sexual reproduction requires a single parent. This statement is incorrect; sexual reproduction typically involves two parents (each providing gametes).
