True, False, or Unknown:Some organisms can reproduce both sexually and asexually
A
True
B
False
C
Unknown
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Some organisms are able to do both sexual and asexual reproduction. This is particularly true for fungi and plants (and rarely, animals-as in parthenogenesis). Often, the type of reproduction that they undergo depends on their environmental conditions or the point in their growth cycles.

Detailed explanation-2: -Many organisms can reproduce sexually as well as asexually. Aphids, slime molds, sea anemones, some species of starfish (by fragmentation), and many plants are examples.

Detailed explanation-3: -While asexual reproduction only involves one organism, sexual reproduction requires both a male and a female. Some plants and unicellular organisms reproduce asexually. Most mammals and fish use sexual reproduction. Some organisms like corals and komodo dragons can reproduce either sexually or asexually.

Detailed explanation-4: -Planaria can reproduce both sexually and asexually.
