TYPE OF PARTENOGENESIS Parthenogenesis is a form of reproduction based on the development of unfertilized female sex cells, which occurs with some frequency in platelets, rotifers, tardigrades, crustaceans, insects, amphibians and reptiles, more rarely in some fish and, exceptionally, in birds. PAEDOGENESIS Paedogenesis is the act of reproduction of an organism that has not reached physical maturity. It is associated with progenesis, where sexual maturity is reached in the juvenile form and physical maturity is not yet achieved.
