I always thought that only single celled organisms reproduced asexually but I recently heard that some stick insects reproduce asexually. Is this true? If it is how do they do it? What is the largest animal that reproduces asexually?
Start reading about Parthenogenesis… Lizards do it.
I am.
Blacktip shark females can reproduce asexually in a low-male environment. They usually get to about 4 or 5 feet long.
EDIT: Looks like Komodo dragons can do it, too – they average around 7-9 feet in length.
My sister.
She’s 6’5’’.
How big do sponges get? They appear to have multiple options for reproduction, including asexual ones.
Turkeys can do parthenogenesis as well.
The Lion’s Mane Jellyfish, which can have a bell over 7 feet in diameter and tentacles 120 feet long, has a life cycle that includes sexual and asexual stages. The jellyfish itself reproduces sexually, but is produced asexually by the polyp stage.
And when they do, their offspring are all male.
There’s a guy in another thread complaining about being a “mental boyfriend” as compared to some girl’s “physical boyfriend”. I don’t know how large he is, but he is apparently pretty far up the food chain compared to the others listed in the thread.
Dinosaurs, if you happen to fill in the gaps in their DNA by splicing tree frog genes in when you resurrect them to show in your island amusement park.
Your sister has sex, and she ENJOYS it
However, I rather doubt educated fleas do it.
(BTW, isn’t this supposed to be about animals that don’t do it?)
