Detailed explanation-1: -Meiosis does not occur during asexual reproduction. Meiosis is the process of producing gametes (eggs and sperm). Mitosis, on the other hand, is simply the process of cell division. This is the process that animals are going through during regeneration.

Detailed explanation-2: -Characteristics of Asexual Reproduction No fertilization or gamete formation takes place. This process of reproduction occurs in a very short time. The organisms multiply and grow rapidly. The offspring is genetically similar.

Detailed explanation-3: -Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that does not involve the fusion of gametes or change in the number of chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Meiosis is important to, but not the same as, sexual reproduction. Meiosis is necessary for sexual reproduction to occur, as it results in the formation of gametes (sperm and eggs). However, sexual reproduction includes fertilization (the fusion between gametes), which is not part of the meiotic process.

Detailed explanation-5: -So, the correct option is ‘False’.
