Asexual reproduction is defined as the production of offspring from an unfertilized cell made by a single parent. This mode of reproduction is so simple and cheap relative to sexual reproduction that why most organisms are instead sexual stands as a key unanswered question in evolutionary biology. Connections to feminist, queer, and gender studies may be mutually illuminating.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
