  3. Parthenogenesis in amphibians - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parthenogenesis_in_Amphibians

    Kleptogenesis is a sexually parasitic form of reproduction in unisexual organisms, that is often associated with species that are also capable of gynogenetic reproduction. [8] In this reproductive mode unisexual females mate with sympatric males of related species, and genetic material in the paternal line recombines with the maternal DNA and ...

  4. Parthenogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parthenogenesis

    This form of asexual reproduction is thought in some cases to be a serious threat to biodiversity for the subsequent lack of gene variation and potentially decreased fitness of the offspring. [ 39 ] Some invertebrate species that feature (partial) sexual reproduction in their native range are found to reproduce solely by parthenogenesis in ...

    The axolotl can grow up to 12 inches and weigh anywhere from three to eight pounds, and its average lifespan in the wild is 10-15 years. Most axolotls are dark brown with some black speckling, but ...

  6. Parthenogenesis in squamates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parthenogenesis_in_squamates

    Parthenogenesis is a mode of asexual reproduction in which offspring are produced by females without the genetic contribution of a male. Among all the sexual vertebrates, the only examples of true parthenogenesis, in which all-female populations reproduce without the involvement of males, are found in squamate reptiles (snakes and lizards).

  7. Plant reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_reproduction

    Asexual reproduction in plants occurs in two fundamental forms, vegetative reproduction and agamospermy. [1] Vegetative reproduction involves a vegetative piece of the original plant producing new individuals by budding, tillering , etc. and is distinguished from apomixis , which is a replacement of sexual reproduction, and in some cases ...

  9. Amphibian - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphibian

    The eel-like larvae hatch out of the eggs and make their way to water. They have three pairs of external red feathery gills, a blunt head with two rudimentary eyes, a lateral line system and a short tail with fins. They swim by undulating their body from side to side. They are mostly active at night, soon lose their gills and make sorties onto ...
