Answer 1

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

The other statements are inaccurate:

• Sexual reproduction requires two parents, not one.
• Asexual reproduction does not involve the fusion of gametes; that process is characteristic of sexual reproduction.
• While sexual reproduction can sometimes produce a greater genetic variety, it does not necessarily produce more offspring than asexual reproduction, which can lead to rapid population increases under favorable conditions.
