The true statement is:

Asexual reproduction is a simpler process than sexual reproduction.

The other statements are false:

  • Asexual reproduction does not involve the fusion of gametes; that process is characteristic of sexual reproduction.
  • Generally, asexual reproduction can produce more offspring quickly than sexual reproduction, as it does not require the time and energy for mating and gamete production.
  • Sexual reproduction requires two parents, not a single parent.
