Question
Parthenogenesis is a form of: a. Response b. Stimulus c. Sexual reproduction d. Asexual reproduction
Correct Answer
Option D is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Parthenogenesis is a form of asexual reproduction where an embryo develops from an unfertilized egg. Although it involves an egg cell (a gamete), it does not involve fertilization by a male gamete, so it is considered asexual. Examples include some insects, reptiles, and plants.
Hint
It means 'virgin birth'—development from an unfertilized egg.
