Q. In rotifers, syngamy is absent. Which mode of reproduction is observed in this organism instead?

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2020Reproduction in Organisms

Solution:

Development of egg cell or female gamete to form embryo without fertilization is called parthenogenesis. The organism thus formed will be haploid. This is observed in honey bees, rotifers, turkey and some lizards.
