Fewer offspring is a disadvantage of which form of reproduction? a)mitosis b)asexual reproduction c) binary fission d)sexual reproduction

Answer;

-Sexual reproduction

Explanation;

-Sexual reproduction is a type of reproduction in which two parents where one gives the male gamete and the other gives the female gametes, which then fuse to form a zygote.

-There are advantages and disadvantages of sexual reproduction in comparison to asexual reproduction. Among the disadvantages, sexual reproduction requires the presence of two parents and thus a population of organisms reproducing sexually would produce only half as many offspring as that which is reproducing asexually.

The correct answer is option D

Sexual reproduction is the process that produces lesser offspring as compared to other processes. It is a disadvantage of sexual reproduction.

The asexual mode of reproduction produces more offspring as compared to that of sexual reproduction.

This is due to the process of meiosis that the offspring is lesser in number.
