Detailed explanation-1: -Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction in which only a single parent is involved. It is a reproduction which does not involve meiosis or fertilization. Organisms such as hydra and amoeba reproduce via asexual reproduction.

Detailed explanation-2: -(c) In asexual reproduction, a single parent prodices offspring with or without the formation of gametes.

Detailed explanation-3: -parthenogenesis, a reproductive strategy that involves development of a female (rarely a male) gamete (sex cell) without fertilization. It occurs commonly among lower plants and invertebrate animals (particularly rotifers, aphids, ants, wasps, and bees) and rarely among higher vertebrates.

Detailed explanation-4: -Parthenogenesis is a form of reproduction in which an egg can develop into an embryo without being fertilized by a sperm. Parthenogenesis is derived from the Greek words for “virgin birth, ‘’ and several insect species including aphids, bees, and ants are known to reproduce by parthenogenesis.
