The option that is not an advantage of asexual reproduction is genetic variation among offspring.

Asexual reproduction typically results in offspring that are genetically identical to the single parent, meaning there is little to no genetic variation. In contrast, sexual reproduction leads to greater genetic diversity among offspring.
