The flowerpot blindsnake reproduces through a process called triploid parthenogenesis — a type of reproduction that does not require sperm. It is the only known snake species to reproduce ...

Females have been observed laying eggs without male contact, demonstrating parthenogenesis. These lizards are an all-female species that reproduce through parthenogenesis, cloning themselves. This all ...

The flowerpot snake (Indotyphlops braminus) is known as the world's only obligate parthenogenetic snake, reproducing exclusively through all-female parthenogenesis. This small snake has become widely ...

This study presents an important finding on the molecular mechanism for transduction of environmentally induced polyphenism. The evidence supporting the claims of the author is solid. This paper would ...

One reason for the rarity of haploid parthenogenesis in flowering plants relates to their fertilization system, which normally requires two fertilization events. Flowering plants produce pollen ...

The flowerpot snake, one of the world's smallest snakes, has some unusual distinctions. Also known as the Brahminy blind snake, it's the only known snake species with three sets of chromosomes ...
