Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Parthenogenesis is a form of asexual reproduction in which an unfertilized egg develops into a new individual. This can result in a colony of genetically identical females, as described in the question. The other options (sexual reproduction, fission, and budding) all involve some form of genetic diversity or the production of both males and females.
