Question

What is neoteny and paedogenesis

Answer 1

Answer:

Paedogenesis, also spelled Pedogenesis, reproduction by sexually mature larvae, usually without fertilization. The young may be eggs, such as are produced by Miastor, a genus of gall midge flies, or other larval forms, as in the case of some flukes. This form of reproduction is distinct from neotenic reproduction in its parthenogenetic nature (i.e., no fertilization occurs) and the eventual maturation or metamorphosis of the parent organism into its adult form.

Answer 2

Answer:

Paedogenesis occurs after the end of embryogenesis, in the juvenile stage, when the cells are differentiated in tissues and organs. In their lengthy review of polyembryony Craig et aL (1997) proposed to extend the term polyembryony to "cases of pre-adult cloning".
