Researchers at the University of Texas at Arlington and research institutes in China and Myanmar studied flowerpot snakes to see how parthenogenesis works in these reptiles. (Alexander Murray ...

The females cloned themselves; and they have like 20-50 roach babies at a time. It's called parthenogenesis. Bees, some reptiles and fish can do it, too. "It's not uncommon in cockroaches ...

The most common forms of asexual reproduction include parthenogenesis (development of an unfertilized egg), budding (where an offspring grows from the body of the parent), and fragmentation (where a ...

This species reproduces by parthenogenesis - a form of reproduction where embryos develop directly from an egg with no need for fertilization - and is responsible for the most severe envenomation ...
