parthenogenesis - the process by which some plants and insects develop from a female cell without needing to be fertilized by a male cell
Hermaphroditic animals have both male and female reproductive systems. Hermaphroditism provides a means for animals to reproduce sexually without finding mates.
For example, individuals in many species of tapeworms fertilize their own eggs.
In other species such as earthworms, each individual serves as a male and female during mating, both donating and receiving sperm.
Mutual donating and receiving sperm does not occur in parthenogenetic.

How many sexes are there in insects?
Insects typically have two sexes: male and female. However, some species of insects exhibit unique reproductive biology, such as parthenogenesis or hermaphroditism, which may introduce variations in the number of sexes present.
What is difference between apomixis and parthinogenesis?
Generally, apomixis is reproduction in plant life without fertilization.The correct spelling is parthenogenesis and generally refers to human conception without fertilization by a man.
What animal exhibits hermaphroditism?
snails
Has anyone ever had gotten pregnant by parthenogenesis?
Parthenogenesis has never occurred in humans, and is highly unlikely.
Whats the condition called where the earthworm has both female and male sex organs?
The condition is called hermaphroditism. In earthworms, hermaphroditism means possessing both male and female reproductive organs, allowing them to reproduce with any other earthworm.
What is the difference between parthenogenesis and parthenocarpy?
Parthenogenesis is the process by which a gamete (usually female) develops to form an individual. As a result, the individual is haploid, eg.drones in bees. Parthenocarpy is the process by which a fruit develops without fertilisation. As fertilisation has not taken place, the fruit is seedless and does not contribute to sexual reproduction.
Differences of Parthenogenesis diploid and parthenogenesis haploid?
Parthenogenesis diploid produces offspring with two sets of chromosomes, similar to sexual reproduction, resulting in genetic variation. Parthenogenesis haploid produces offspring with only one set of chromosomes, leading to clones of the mother with no genetic diversity.
What is intersexuality?
Intersex is a group of conditions where there is a discrepancy between the external genitals and the internal genitals (the testes and ovaries). The older term for this condition is hermaphroditism.
How do you get pregnant without conceiving?
parthenogenesis
What has the author Patrick Graille written?
Patrick Graille has written: 'Les hermaphrodites' -- subject(s): Androgyny (Psychology), Hermaphroditism, History, Social aspects, Social aspects of Hermaphroditism
How can you be a man and a woman?
This can occur via a condition known as hermaphroditism.
What organisms demonstrate parthenogenesis?
Parthenogenesis is a type of asexual reproduction where there is no fertilization needed. Some organisms that demonstrate this are komodo dragons and water fleas.
