The Messiah..born of a virgin...

Quote:Other ways of asexual reproduction include parthenogenesis, fragmentation and spore formation that involves only mitosis. Parthenogenesis (from the Greek παρθένος parthenos, "virgin", + γένεσις genesis, "creation") is the growth and development of embryo or seed without fertilization by a male. Parthenogenesis occurs naturally in some species, including lower plants (where it is called apomixis), invertebrates (e.g. water fleas, aphids, some bees and parasitic wasps), and vertebrates (e.g. some reptiles,[1] fish, and, very rarely, birds[2] and sharks[3]). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reproductio...production

Give the "birds" reference article link a very wide berth if you like eating eggs and want to continue eating them.

(Isn't parthenogenesis a cool word?)
