parthenogenetic

Although the parthenogenetic flies received genes only from their mothers, they weren’t always clones of their parent.

In a separate study published in 2021, researchers stated that it's "ecologically advantageous in the short term, but the young age and rarity of parthenogenetic species indicate it is less advantageous in the long term."

Each instance of parthenogenetic reproduction can spawn up to 20 to 30 baby scorpions.

The yellow scorpion is parthenogenetic, which means the female can breed without being fertilised by males and it eats insects such as cockroaches.

Although Michelangelo would have been the last to tell us — he liked to present himself as a parthenogenetic wonder — he did have some art training.
