- Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction. What is an advantage of asexual reproduction when compared to sexual reproduction? a Asexual organisms are less likely to have mutations in their DNA than sexual organisms are. b An organism that reproduces asexually can reproduce much more quickly than an organism that reproduces sexually. c An asexual organism lives longer than an organism that reproduces sexually. d An organism that reproduces asexually is better equipped to respond to environmental changes than an organism that reproduces sexually.arrow_forwardIs this true or false? a.
