Write short note on Parthenogenesis.

Explanation

The word parthenogenesis is derived from two Greek words, parthenos means .virgin. and genesis means .origin.. It can be defined as the formation of embryo from an unfertilised egg or haploid female gamete. In parthenogenesis, the haploid egg in which no fertilisation occurs, develops into an embryo. This forms viable seed which can give rise to a new plant.
