Question

give an account of artificial agents which includes artificial parthenogenesis​

Answer 1

Answer:

Artificial Parthenogenesis

Temperature induces parthenogenesis in eggs. For eg., parthenogenesis is induced if an egg is transferred from -30 to -10°C.

Parthenogenesis is caused by ultraviolet light.

Electrical shocks cause parthenogenesis.

When an egg is pricked by a needle, the development occurs parthenogenetically.

Answer 2

ARTIFICIAL PARTHENOGENESIS -

• Asexual reproduction involves the formation of a female gamete without the process of fertilization.
• The organisms formed lack genetic recombination, therefore, have a short lifespan.
• Bees, wasps, ants reproduce by the process of parthenogenesis.
• The agents involved in the process are -

1. PHYSICAL MEANS -

• Temperature - When a fertilized egg is exposed to the temperature range of -30 to -10.
• Ultraviolet light
• Electrical shock

2. CHEMICAL MEANS -

• Chloroform
• Acids
• Strychnine
• Urea and Sucrose
• Chlorides.
