Types of reproduction in animals — A/L Biology

How do I practise Types of reproduction in animals?

1 question with a worked solution

1. Which form of asexual reproduction in animals involves the development of an unfertilized egg into a viable adult individual, as observed in honeybee drones?
   1. A) Budding
   2. B) Parthenogenesis
   3. C) Fragmentation
   4. D) Multiple fission

   Correct answer: B) Parthenogenesis

   Parthenogenesis is a form of asexual reproduction wherein an embryo develops from an unfertilized ovum without participation of a male gamete. In honeybees (haplodiploidy), unfertilized haploid eggs develop into fertile males (drones).

   Step 1: Define terms: - Budding: outgrowth of parent body (e.g., Hydra). - Fragmentation: body breaks into pieces that regenerate (e.g., Planaria). - Fission: dividing into two or more daughter cells (e.g., Amoeba). - Parthenogenesis: development of embryo from unfertilized egg. Answer: Parthenogenesis.
