(2) Thelytoky
(3) Amphitoky
(4) Cellular level of organisation​

Answer 1

The correct answer is (1) Arthenotoky.

Explanation:

• Arthenotoky is a type of parthenogenesis.
• Parthenogenesis can be defined as a form of asexual reproduction.
• Here fertilisation of gametes does not occur and an individual develops from an unfertilised egg.
• In Arthenotoky, the unfertilised egg develops into a male individual.
• The female individual, on the other hand, develop from a fertilised egg.
• This form of reproduction is commonly observed in Rotifers.
