Aphids Aphids primarily reproduce through a process called parthenogenesis, which is a form of asexual reproduction. This means that female aphids can produce offspring without mating with a male.
Water fleas: Like aphids, water fleas can produce offspring without fertilization. This means a female water flea can clone herself, creating genetically identical offspring.
Rotifers primarily reproduce asexually through parthenogenesis, where unfertilized eggs develop into female offspring. This allows for rapid population growth in favorable conditions.
stick insect Similar to other animals we've discussed, certain stick insect species can reproduce without the need for fertilization. This process is known as parthenogenesis.
Komodo dragons: These giant lizards can reproduce asexually in captivity and possibly in the wild. Komodo dragons are one of the most fascinating examples of animals capable of asexual reproduction.
