Unisexual Reproduction refers to the production of an offspring without the need of copulation. In short it is what is known as VIRGIN BIRTH, from the Greek word 'Parthenogenesis.'

Some examples are:

1. The Amoeba. This single celled creature merely DIVIDES into two at the appropriate time. Lo and Behold! another Amoeba.'

2. Aphids or Greenfly (the pest of gardeners) also reproduce iby parthenogenesis.

A rather remarkable experiment was undertaken a number of years ago. The egg of an amphibian was pricked by a needle. The eventual result was the birth of a new amphibian. However, the faculties, such as its limbs etc were noticeably inferior.
