Budding is also known on a multicellular level; an animal example is the hydra, [10] which reproduces by budding. The buds grow into fully matured individuals which eventually break away from the parent organism. Internal budding is a process of asexual reproduction, favoured by parasites such as Toxoplasma gondii.
The eggs are oval-shaped, measuring 115–175 μm long and 45–47 μm wide, and ~150 μm diameter on average. They have pointed spines towards the broader base on one side, i.e. lateral spines. This is an important diagnostic tool because co-infection with S. haematobium (having terminal-spined eggs) is common, and they are hard to distinguish ...
A form of asexual reproduction related to parthenogenesis is gynogenesis. Here, offspring are produced by the same mechanism as in parthenogenesis, but with the requirement that the egg merely be stimulated by the presence of sperm in order to develop. However, the sperm cell does not contribute any genetic material to the offspring.
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).

In asexual reproduction the generation of new organisms does not require the fusion sperm with an egg. [1] However, in sexual reproduction new organisms are formed by the fusion of haploid sperm and eggs resulting in what is known as the zygote. [1] Although animals exhibit both sexual and asexual reproduction the vast majority of animals ...
This is an asexual form of reproduction that is only found in females of some insects, crustaceans, nematodes, [24] fish (for example the hammerhead shark [25]), Cape honeybees, [26] and lizards including the Komodo dragon [25] and several whiptails. The growth and development occurs without fertilization by a male.
With the exception of a few purely asexual species, the lifecycle of diplostracans is dominated by asexual reproduction, with occasional periods of sexual reproduction; this is known as cyclical parthenogenesis. [11] When conditions are favourable, reproduction occurs by parthenogenesis for several generations, producing only female clones. As ...
