Answer:

Option 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In asexual organism, there is only one parent involved hence there is no crossing over or homologous recombination of genetic material from another parent hence the offsprings are genetically identical to the parent without any genetic variation. No gametes are involved and common modes of asexual reproduction includes budding etc.
