Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Parthenogenesis refers to the development of an ovum without fertilization by a male. Budding is a form of asexual reproduction in which an offspring develops from an outgrowth or bud on the parent organism. Hermaphroditism refers to an organism that has both male and female reproductive organs. Monoecy refers to a plant that has both male and female reproductive structures on the same individual. None of these terms describe the development of an ovum without fertilization by a male, except for parthenogenesis.
