The true statement is:
Asexual reproduction is a simpler process than sexual reproduction.
Here’s why the other statements are false:
-
Sexual reproduction produces more offspring than asexual reproduction. - This is generally false; asexual reproduction can often produce more offspring in a shorter amount of time, as it does not require finding a mate.
-
Sexual reproduction requires a single parent. - This is false; sexual reproduction typically involves two parents and the fusion of gametes.
-
Asexual reproduction occurs when two gametes fuse. - This is also false; asexual reproduction does not involve gametes or the fusion of two cells; instead, it involves a single organism reproducing on its own.
