Which is NOT true of sexual reproduction?
A
they all are genetically different
B
they will have 2 parents
C
they will reproduce faster
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sexual reproduction takes more time for completion.

Detailed explanation-2: -Scientists who study how organisms reproduce know that asexual reproduction is more efficient-for one thing, it’s about twice as fast as sexual reproduction, since every offspring can produce more.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sexual reproduction involves two parents and produces offspring that are genetically unique. During sexual reproduction, two haploid gametes join in the process of fertilization to produce a diploid zygote. Meiosis is the type of cell division that produces gametes.

Detailed explanation-4: -The math is simple: with four asexual adults (females) you get eight offspring, but with two males and two females you get only four offspring. In other words, the asexual population grows twice as fast as the sexually reproducing one.
