The true statement is:

Asexual reproduction is a simpler process than sexual reproduction.

The other statements are incorrect:

  • Sexual reproduction requires two parents (typically).
  • Sexual reproduction does not necessarily produce more offspring than asexual reproduction; it often produces fewer offspring due to the need for mating.
  • Asexual reproduction does not involve the fusion of gametes. That process is characteristic of sexual reproduction.
