Which process produces a greater number of offspring? A) chromosome duplication. B) asexual reproduction. C) gamete formation. D) sexual reproduction

The correct answer is B) asexual reproduction.

Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction which involves a single parent and it results in offspring that are genetically identical to each other and to the parent (no genetic variation). There are several different methods of asexual reproduction: binary fission (parent cell splits into two), fragmentation (parent organism breaks into fragments and each of them develops into a new organism), and budding (parent cell forms a bud, which, when it is developed breaks away and forms a new organism). The advantage of asexual reproduction is that it can be very rapid and that allows them to crowd out other organisms.
