Subtypes of this process include arrhenotoky and the much more common thelytoky, and an analogous process in plants is known as apomixis.

First studied in sea urchins by Jacques Loeb, the largest land animals to undergo it are Komodo dragons, while in [*] bees, it produces drones. It was used in a Tokyo lab to create the mouse Kaguya, and was artificially induced by Gregory Pincus in female rabbits of mothering age. For 10 points, name this form of asexual reproduction by which egg cells develop into newborns without male fertilization, from the Greek for ‘virgin birth'.
