The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question:** The question asks for the term that describes the development of a new individual from a female gamete without fertilization. 2. **Analyzing the Options:** We have four options to consider: - Syngamy - Embryogenesis - Oogamy - Parthenogenesis 3. **Evaluating Each Option:** - **Syngamy:** This refers to the fusion of male and female gametes. Since the question specifies development without fertilization, this option is incorrect. - **Embryogenesis:** This is the process that follows fertilization, where the zygote develops into an embryo. Since it involves fertilization, this option is also incorrect. - **Oogamy:** This term describes a type of sexual reproduction where there is a fusion of morphologically different gametes (male and female). Since it involves fertilization, this option is incorrect as well. - **Parthenogenesis:** This is the correct term that describes the development of a new individual from a female gamete without fertilization. It occurs in some species like bees and ants. 4. **Conclusion:** The correct answer to the question is **Parthenogenesis**. ---
