BIOLOGY QUESTION #6527

Which of the following animals can reproduce itself without a sexual act?

Turkeys

Explanation

A Turkey is a large poultry bird. It is native to the forests of North America. The male is larger and much more colourful than the female (hen). Most people are probably familiar with the turkey, but only few know that the turkey can reproduce without a sexual act. This phenomenon is called parthenogenesis and is known from several species in the animal world. For some species, this is in fact the only way they can reproduce, whereas with turkeys, normal reproduction involving a male and a female also takes place.
