Parthenogenesis is a form of asexual reproduction in which an organism develops from an unfertilized egg. This process occurs in various species, including some insects, reptiles, and plants, allowing them to reproduce without the need for male fertilization. Parthenogenesis can result in offspring that are genetically identical to the mother, promoting rapid population growth under certain conditions. However, it typically leads to reduced genetic diversity compared to sexual reproduction.
