Solution

The correct option is B
False

Asexual reproduction involves the division of somatic cells and the process can be compared to mitotic cell division. It does not involve the fusion of gametes, and almost never changes the number of chromosomes as in meiosis, where the chromosome number in the daughter cells is reduced to half the number in the parent cell.
