The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Parthenogenesis**: - Parthenogenesis is a form of asexual reproduction where an organism develops from an unfertilized egg. In this process, the female gamete (egg) develops into a new individual without the need for fertilization by a male gamete. 2. **Identifying Organisms that Exhibit Parthenogenesis**: - To answer the question, we need to identify which organisms are known to reproduce via parthenogenesis. - Common examples include: - **Rotifers**: These microscopic aquatic animals can reproduce through parthenogenesis. - **Honey Bees**: In honey bees, unfertilized eggs develop into males (drones), while fertilized eggs develop into females (workers and queens). - **Turkeys**: Some species of turkeys can reproduce through parthenogenesis, particularly in the absence of males. 3. **Eliminating Incorrect Options**: - The question mentions several organisms, including fruits like apples, bananas, and strawberries. These are not relevant as they do not reproduce through parthenogenesis. - Additionally, while queen bees are mentioned, they are not a separate entity from honey bees in this context, as they are female honey bees that can also reproduce through parthenogenesis. 4. **Final Answer**: - The organisms that exhibit parthenogenesis are **Rotifers**, **Honey Bees**, and **Turkeys**.
