The organism that can reproduce both sexually and asexually is the protist.

The organism that can reproduce both sexually and asexually is the protist. To answer this question, we can eliminate the options that we know reproduce only in one way. For example, dogs reproduce only sexually, and sandhill cranes also reproduce only sexually. That leaves us with starfish and protist. Starfish can regenerate lost body parts through asexual reproduction, but they primarily reproduce sexually. On the other hand, protists are a group of diverse microscopic organisms that can reproduce both sexually and asexually. So, the correct answer is protist.
