The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for the phenomenon where a gamete develops into a new organism without any fusion. This indicates a type of reproduction that does not involve the typical fertilization process. 2. **Identifying Key Terms**: - **Gamete**: A reproductive cell (sperm or egg). - **Fusion**: The process where two gametes combine to form a zygote. - **Phenomenon**: A notable event or process in biology. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Syngamy**: This refers to the fusion of two gametes. Since the question specifies "without any fusion," this option is incorrect. - **External Fertilization**: This is the process where fertilization occurs outside the body. It still involves the fusion of gametes, so this option is also incorrect. - **Parthenogenesis**: This is a form of asexual reproduction where an egg develops into a new organism without fertilization. This fits the description given in the question. - **Parthenocarpy**: This refers to the development of fruit without fertilization, resulting in seedless fruits. It is not related to the development of a new organism from a gamete. 4. **Conclusion**: The correct answer is **Parthenogenesis**, as it describes the development of a new organism from a gamete without fusion. **Final Answer**: Parthenogenesis ---
