To solve the question "When offspring is formed by a single parent then it is called as," we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Reproduction**: - Reproduction is the biological process through which new individual organisms are produced from their parents. 2. **Types of Reproduction**: - There are two main types of reproduction: **sexual reproduction** and **asexual reproduction**. - **Sexual reproduction** involves two parents (male and female) where gametes (sperm and egg) fuse to form offspring. - **Asexual reproduction**, on the other hand, involves only one parent and does not involve the fusion of gametes. 3. **Identifying the Key Term**: - The question specifically asks about the formation of offspring from a single parent. This indicates that we are looking for the type of reproduction that does not require a partner. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since asexual reproduction is characterized by the involvement of only one parent, the correct answer to the question is **asexual reproduction**. ### Final Answer: When offspring is formed by a single parent, it is called **asexual reproduction**. ---
