Parthenogenesis is a unique form of asexual reproduction where an embryo develops from an unfertilized egg, eliminating the need for sperm. This phenomenon occurs in various species, including insects (such as bees and ants), reptiles (like whiptail lizards and some snakes), amphibians, and even certain fish and sharks.
