The statement "Asexual reproduction is a simpler process than sexual reproduction" is true.
The correct statement is:
Asexual reproduction is a simpler process than sexual reproduction.
To determine the true statement, we need to understand the concepts of sexual and asexual reproduction.
Sexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that involves the fusion of two gametes (sex cells), one from each parent. This process combines genetic material from two different parents, resulting in genetic diversity and variation among offspring.
On the other hand, asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that does not involve the fusion of gametes. Instead, it involves the production of offspring from a single parent. Asexual reproduction typically involves the parent organism producing offspring that are genetically identical or very similar to itself.
In the given options, the statement "Asexual reproduction is a simpler process than sexual reproduction" is true. Asexual reproduction generally requires less complexity and fewer steps compared to sexual reproduction, as it does not involve the fusion of gametes or the formation of specialized reproductive structures.
Therefore, the correct statement is that asexual reproduction is a simpler process than sexual reproduction.
