- Parthenogenesis is a permanent reproductive process. In this process the number of organisms can be increased at any time.
- In this process the polyploid state is created in the organism.
- Plants can be protected from sterility and extinction through artificial parthenogenesis.
- Parthenogenesis protects the species from sterility.
- Sex is determined by the process of parthenogenesis in many organisms. E.g. – Bolata, bee.
- Chromosome theory of inheritance can be explained by parthenogenesis.
- It makes the members of the organism unvaried.
- In this process, some insects can reproduce rapidly. such as aphids.
- This encourages the organism to develop advantageous mutant traits.
- It does not create any new variation.
- It is useful in research.
- Applied in plant breeding.
