Examples of parthenogenesis
parthenogenesis
Polyploid animals are often sterile, so they often reproduce by parthenogenesis.
From the en.wikipedia.org
An example of non-viable parthenogenesis is common among domesticated honey bees.

For apomixis and similar processes in non-plant organisms, see parthenogenesis.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Induced parthenogenesis in mice and monkeys often results in abnormal development.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Males are absent within the species, and females reproduce only by parthenogenesis.
From the en.wikipedia.org
But the blastocyst that results from parthenogenesis does not become a viable fetus.
From the sciencedaily.com
The offspring produced by apomictic parthenogenesis are full clones of their mother.
From the en.wikipedia.org
There are no known cases of naturally occurring mammalian parthenogenesis in the wild.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The fact of parthenogenesis indicates that the natural form of all species is female.

- Human conception without fertilization by a man
- Process in which an unfertilized egg develops into a new individual; common among insects and some other arthropods
- (parthenogenetic) agamic: (of reproduction) not involving the fusion of male and female gametes in reproduction
- Referring to various aspects of asexual reproduction: (biology, uncountable) Reproduction by the development of a single gamete (viz. an ovum or ovule) without fertilisation by a gamete of the opposite sex; compare metagenesis, heterogamy. ...
- (Parthenogenetic) Reproducing by parthenogenesis, that is with egg developing without fertilization.
- (Parthenogenic) Refers to asexual reproduction. This doesn't occur with stag beetles, of course, but it happens with quite a number of insects, during some stage of their life cycle; for instance, with the apple gall wasp during their root gall stage.
- (parthenogenic) The reproduction and the development of a species by an unfertilized ovum, as in some species of worms.
- Development of an ovum without fusion of its nucleus with a male pronucleus to form a zygote. This term was made semi-popular by the song "Nemesis" by Shriekback: "Big black nemesis, parthenogenesis, No-one move a muscle as the dead come home..."
- The development of young from unfertilized eggs. In honey bees the unfertilized eggs produce drones.
