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; rather, it typically involves a single organism reproducing on its own.
  • Sexual reproduction generally produces fewer offspring than asexual reproduction, as it often involves more complex processes, including mating and gestation.
  • Sexual reproduction requires two parents, not a single parent.
