Bass guitar has less strings than a guitar. (Unless you are on a 6 string bass) Also bass is a monophonic instrument most of the time (meaning not many chords)

If you are just learning, basic bass will be likely easier than guitar. It really depends on what you personally enjoy more.

BTW there are frets on both the bass and the guitar, (unless you are playing a "fretless")
1) bass is easier because you are usually only playing one note at a time. chords are a sequence of notes put together using a given scale(primarily major and minor). bass is one of those instruments that is easy to be good at but incredibly hard to be noticed for(see primus, rush, red hot chilli peppers).

2)i think what your dad is trying to say is that you play chords on guitar and only play notes (or one note on a fret) of a bass. this is sometimes true however there is a thing called chord bass that uses more than one note however if not done correctly this can sound muddy and cluttered.

however above all. its not about whats easiest. its about what you like. if you love to listen to music with earthy bass tones that drive the songs to another level using a serious of slaps and pops: then PLAY BASS. if you can think of nothing better in music than a face melting solo that sends your ears on a journey using a crap load of pinch harmonics: then play guitar. do you like soft ballads that melt your heart, well then by god play your little emo heart out(haha jk no offence idk you just making fun). what do you listen for thats the important thing.
