Solution

Dear Student,


Asexual reproduction is the simplest form of reproduction, since organisms are only making genetically identical copies of themselves. The other reason why less complex organisms undergo asexual reproduction is because this mode of reproduction is quite energy efficient, since organisms don’t need to spend the energy on finding a mate. So, they can use energy in performing other functions.
