Answer:

It is called parthenogenesis

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because parthenogenesis is a type of reproduction where the female produced egg develop into offspring without fertilization from the sperm of the male parent. It is a type of asexual reproduction in which unfertilized egg from the female develop into offsprings either both sexes or male only or female only.
