Explanation:

• Question 2: Budding is a form of asexual reproduction where a new organism grows as a bud on the parent and detaches when mature.
• Question 3: Sexual reproduction involves finding mates and producing gametes, which takes more time and energy.
• Question 4: Asexual reproduction is helpful in stable environments as offspring are genetically identical to the parent.
• Question 5: Binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction where the parent divides into two identical cells.
• Question 6: Bacteria, protists, and some plants commonly use asexual reproduction.
• Question 7: Sexual reproduction involves two parents.
• Question 8: Chromosomes from two parents are combined during sexual reproduction.
• Question 9: Vegetative propagation is common in plants.
• Question 10: Meiosis is the process that produces gametes.
