Detailed explanation-1: -Animals such as bees, wasps, ants have no sex chromosomes. These organisms reproduce by parthenogenesis. A few plants, reptiles and fish are also capable of reproducing in this manner. A few organisms such as crayfish, snakes, komodo dragons and sharks can reproduce sexually as well as by parthenogenesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -3.2 Parthenogenesis True parthenogenesis (Greek for “virgin birth”) is a form of asexual reproduction in which the production of offspring occurs in the absence of any male genetic contribution. Females produce unfertilized eggs that will develop into viable embryos (Neaves and Baumann, 2011).

Detailed explanation-3: -Asexual reproduction includes fission, budding, fragmentation, and parthenogenesis, while sexual reproduction is achieved through the combination of reproductive cells from two individuals.

Detailed explanation-4: -In the insect order Hymenoptera (which includes bees, wasps, and ants), parthenogenesis can take one of three forms: arrhenotoky, thelytoky, and deuterotoky.
