B
Both types of reproduction result in offspring that are identical to one parent
C

D
All organisms can reproduce sexually or asexually depending on environmental conditions
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sexual reproduction is the process in which two parents are involved which produce two types of gamete i.e., male and female. The gametes fuse to form the zygote during fertilization. This is a compulsory event which allows the continuation of the species.

Detailed explanation-2: -Asexual reproduction is a form of reproduction in which the offspring produced is exactly similar to the parent. Also, neither there is formation of two different gametes, nor there is an involvement of two different sexes. In case of unicellular organisms, mitosis is a mode of asexual reproduction.
