उत्तर
An egg develops without being fertilized.
Explanation:
Parthenogenesis is a unique mode of reproduction where an unfertilized egg develops into a new individual without being fertilized by a sperm. This natural phenomenon is commonly observed in certain insects, crustaceans, and rotifers. It should not be confused with other biological processes such as sex change, budding, or hermaphroditism, as these involve different reproductive mechanisms.
