AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Uniparental Reproduction**: Uniparental reproduction refers to a mode of reproduction that involves only one parent. This means that the offspring are produced without the involvement of gametes from two parents. 2. **Identifying the Type of Reproduction**: In the context of animals and simple organisms, uniparental reproduction is characterized by the absence of gametic fusion. This means that the offspring are not formed through the combination of male and female gametes. 3. **Recognizing Asexual Reproduction**: The type of reproduction that fits the description of uniparental reproduction is asexual reproduction. In asexual reproduction, new organisms are produced from a single parent organism, and there is no fusion of gametes. 4. **Differentiating from Other Types**: While vegetative reproduction is a form of asexual reproduction, it specifically refers to plants. In animals, the broader term that encompasses various forms of reproduction without gametic fusion is asexual reproduction. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, in animals and other simple organisms, uniparental reproduction is called **asexual reproduction**. ---
