parthenogenesis [pahr″thĕ-no-jen´ĕ-sis]

a modified form of sexual reproduction in which a gamete develops into a new individual without the fertilization of an oocyte by a spermatozoon, as in certain arthropods and other animals; it may occur as a natural phenomenon or be induced by chemical or mechanical stimulation (artificial parthenogenesis). adj., adj parthenogenet´ic.
