Sexual reproduction involves parental care, while asexual reproduction does not.

Sexual reproduction is more complex, while asexual reproduction is a simpler process.

Answer 1

The statement that has exceptions is:

"Sexual reproduction involves parental care, while asexual reproduction does not."

This statement can have exceptions because some asexual species, like certain plants and organisms, do exhibit forms of parental care or protection for their offspring, while some sexually reproducing species do not provide parental care at all.

Answer 2

are u absolutely sure

Answer 3

Yes, I am confident in my assessment. The statement about parental care has exceptions because:

1. Asexual Reproduction: Some organisms that reproduce asexually do provide some form of care or investment in their offspring. For example, certain species of plants can protect and nurture their clones or offshoots, and some invertebrates may guard their eggs even if they reproduce asexually.

2. Sexual Reproduction: There are many sexually reproducing species, such as many fish and reptiles, that do not exhibit any form of parental care; they simply lay their eggs and leave.

In contrast, the other statements about the requirements for parents, genetic variation, and complexity are generally true without significant exceptions. Therefore, the statement regarding parental care is the one that can be more nuanced and subject to exceptions.
