Parthenogenesis
Parthenogenesis is a particular form of asexual reproduction in which females produce eggs that develop without fertilization. Parthenogenesis is seen in aphids, rotifers, and some other invertebrates, as well as in some plants.
Parthenogenesis (from the Greek παρθένος parthenos, "virgin", + γένεσις genesis, "creation") is an asexual form of reproduction found in females where growth and development of an embryo or seed occurs without fertilization by ...
Parthenogenesis: Development of an insect, from egg to adult, without fertilization.
Pathogen: A disease-causing organism.
Pest: An organism that interferes with human activities, property, or health, or is objectionable.

parthenogenesis - special reproductive strategy in which unfertilized eggs undergo cell division and embryogenesis to develop into viable adult individuals ("virgin birth").
parthenogenesis - a method of reproduction that does not require mating or fertilization. May be obligatory or facultative and may result in all female offspring, all male offspring or a mixture depending on the species.

Parthenogenesis occurs in some fishes, several kinds of insects, and a few species of frogs and lizards. It does not normally occur in mammals because of their imprinted genes.
parthenogenesis Unisexual reproduction involving the production of young by females not fertilized by males; common in rotifers, cladocerans, aphids, bees, ants, and wasps. A parthenogenetic egg may be diploid or haploid.
