Question

Example of vertebrates reproducing parthenogenetically 2

Answer 1

Parthenogenesis occurs naturally in some plants, some invertebrate animal species (including nematodes, water fleas, some scorpions, aphids, some mites, some bees, some Phasmida and parasitic wasps) and a few vertebrates (such as some fish, amphibians, reptiles and very rarely birds)

Answer 2

The examples of vertebrates reproducing parthenogenetically 2 are:

4. Whiptail Lizards

What is Parthenogenesis?

Parthenogenesis is an asexual reproduction that occurs without fertilization by sperm. The female gamete is required for the development of parthenogenesis.

Types of Parthenogenesis:

• Natural Parthenogenesis

• Artificial Parthenogenesis

Significance of Parthenogenesis:

• It is a very easy and simple reproduction process

• It is the most stable process
