  2. A female gamete develops into a new organism without fertilization
  3. A male gamete develops independently into a new organism without any fusion
  4. An organism reproduces by fragmenting into multiple pieces
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A female gamete develops into a new organism without fertilization

In some organisms like rotifers, honeybees, and even some lizards, the female gamete undergoes development to form new organisms without being fertilized by a male gamete.
