Question : The phenomenon whereby the female gamete undergoes development to form new organisms without fertilization in some organisms like rotifers, honeybees, some lizards, and birds is called:
Option 1: Apomixis
Option 2: Parthenogenesis
Option 3: Budding
Option 4: Fragmentation
Correct Answer: Parthenogenesis
Solution : The correct option is parthenogenesis.
Parthenogenesis is a form of asexual reproduction in which an unfertilized egg develops into a new individual without the involvement of male gametes. It occurs in various organisms, including certain species of rotifers, honeybees, lizards, and birds. While parthenogenesis can be beneficial in some situations, it can also limit genetic diversity compared to sexual reproduction.
