Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What kind of reproduction happens when one parent produces offspring without meiosis or fertilization?
A
sexual
B
asexual
C
homologous
D
fission
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Parthenogenesis. Parthenogenesis is a form of asexual reproduction where an egg develops into a complete individual without being fertilized. The resulting offspring can be either haploid or diploid, depending on the process and the species.

Detailed explanation-2: -In asexual reproduction, one parent organism produces offspring without meiosis and fertilization. 2. Because the offspring of asexual reproduction inherit all their DNA from one parent, they are genetically identical to each other and their parent.

Detailed explanation-3: -Explain. Meiosis does not occur during asexual reproduction. Meiosis is the process of producing gametes (eggs and sperm). Mitosis, on the other hand, is simply the process of cell division.

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.

Detailed explanation-5: -Asexual reproduction includes fission, budding, fragmentation, and parthenogenesis, while sexual reproduction is achieved through the combination of reproductive cells from two individuals.
