Some animals can indeed produce offspring without mating. This fascinating phenomenon is known as parthenogenesis, which translates to “virgin birth” in Greek. Let me explain how it works: Process Overview: In sexual reproduction, an egg cell and a sperm cell combine to create a new organism, each contributing half of the genetic information. In parthenogenesis, the body finds a unique way to compensate for the lack of male genetic contribution. Types of Parthenogenesis: Automixis: In this version of parthenogenesis, an animal merges a polar body (a byproduct of egg production) with an egg. This process slightly shuffles the mother’s genes, resulting in offspring that are similar to the mother but not exact clones. Some sharks exhibit automixis. Apomixis: In apomixis, reproductive cells replicate via mitosis, creating two diploid cells (genetically identical). These offspring are true clones of their parent. Apomixis is more common in plants. Examples: Zebra Shark: Leonie, a zebra shark at Australia’s Reef HQ Aquarium, stunned her keepers in 2016 when three of her eggs hatched into living pups. Reticulated Python: Thelma, a python at Louisville Zoo, laid six eggs that developed into healthy young snakes without ever encountering a male python. Komodo Dragon: Flora, a Komodo dragon at England’s Chester Zoo, achieved a similar feat, puzzling her keepers. Genetic Details: Ovaries produce eggs through a process called meiosis, resulting in haploid cells (containing half the mother’s chromosomes). Parthenogenesis allows animals to create offspring by creatively utilizing these haploid cells, either through automixis or apomixis. In summary, while most animals require mating for reproduction, parthenogenesis provides a remarkable alternative for a select few species, allowing them to have “virgin births” without male involvement

Totty if 3D mode better to have 240 Hz
