Q. Development of an embryo without fertilization is called as

VMMC MedicalVMMC Medical 2009

Solution:

Parthenogenesis (virgin origin) is the development of an embryo from an unfertilized egg or if a spermatozoon does penetrate the egg, there is no union of male and female pronuclei. It is found in many plants (dandelions and howk weeds) and animals (aphids and honey bees).
