Parthenogenesis

This animation on parthenogenesis shows the normal events of meiosis and explains four different types of parthenogenesis, in which the events of meiosis are modified to produce offspring that develop from an egg that has not been fertilized by a sperm. Viewers are challenged to predict the sex and genetic makeup of each type of parthenogenetic offspring. Created by Marc Dryer, Fiona E. Rawle, and Joan C. Sharp for the National Center for Case Study Teaching in Science, 2016.
