Yes. Asexual reproduction in common in a wide variety of species, including plants and numerous species of marine invertebrates. Even some species of vertebrates reproduce through parthenogenesis, a process in which a female animal produces offspring without a male. There are entire species of lizards with no males. The females reproduce exact copies of themselves through parthenogenesis.
