This remarkable process, called parthenogenesis or other forms of asexual reproduction, allows these animals to produce offspring that are genetically identical to themselves without requiring a mate.

Researchers uncover how the flowerpot snake's unique DNA structure allows asexual reproduction and offers insights into genetic repair mechanisms.

Did a bit of research again on how (and why) the Woggle could be asexual after it laid it's egg and thought I'd share! Catch up on the Woggle(s) here: • The Woggles Support my channel and stuff ...

A study on Lepraria lichens found they possess genes for sexual reproduction despite being thought entirely asexual. This challenges long-held beliefs and raises questions about their reproductive ...

Whether this strategy of unselfish inheritance occurs in other animals—including sexually reproducing species—is unknown. This finding highlights the usefulness of studying species with unusual ...

Genetic diversity is essential to the survival of a species. It's easy enough to maintain if a species reproduces sexually; an egg and a sperm combine genetic material from two creatures into one ...

In 2006, workers at two British zoos were shocked to find that their female Komodo dragons had given birth despite being isolated from males. One of them went on to mate with a male, showing how ...

Asexual reproduction for crops If thale cress were to be genetically modified such that the central cells produced the protein cyclin themselves, they would begin to divide even without fertilization.

A shark at the Brookfield Zoo in Illinois was born through asexual reproduction, something so rare that experts believe it’s only the second time it has ever happened at a zoo in the United States.
