the claim

Asexually reproducing organisms evolve through random mutation acted on by natural selection.

Recorded sources

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Asexually reproducing organisms evolve through random mutation acted on by natural selection?

Yes. A peer-reviewed study states directly that asexually reproducing populations of single cells evolve through mutation, natural selection, and genetic drift. Other sources describe natural selection acting on random mutation but do not specifically address asexually reproducing organisms.
