Parthenogenesis Mentioned in World Almanac Note
The World Almanac notes that parthenogenesis is reproduction without fertilization seen in bees and ants. Artificial methods have been used to stimulate unfertilized eggs in many animals, with risks of abnormal or incomplete development. Fertilization may compensate for inherited defective genes to increase survivability.
