Non-parthenogenetic animals give “virgin births” following Genetic engineering
Parthenogenesis is asexual reproduction in which genetic contribution from male is dispensed with. Eggs develop to offspring on their own without being fertilised by a sperm.

This is a picture of aspen trees in Golden Colorado. Aspen trees are dioecious angiosperms but also largely reproduce asexually. Aspens have an extensive root system that expands underground sending up shoots that turn into the above ground aspen trees. Some aspen groves may all be a single gigantic organism due to the fact that a single seed can give rise to numerous cloned aspen "trees".
This photo was taken in Aspen Colorado and shows how sexual and asexual reproduction affects the times at which trees change color.

Sempervivum is usually called "Hen-and-Chicks" in my house, another name for it is "Houseleek" and there are over 30 species of this plant.
These Plants asexually reproduce by splitting at the rosette then the offshoot becomes it's own plant after falling off the mother plant and growing roots of it's own.

This is my own spider plant that I love oh so much. This spider plant is reproducing asexually, as you can see on the ends of the stems. Bethel Woolf
This spider plant is a prime example of a form of asexual reproduction in plants. To reproduce, the spider plant develops smaller plants from its stolons - stems at the base of a plant that forms new plants. The new plant that is produced must come in contact with soil for it to become an individual plant of its own. This type of asexual reproduction allows the spider plant to reproduce faster and requires less energy to do so. I found this plant at an AirBnB that my mom and I were staying at. The woman who owned the house had a small ecosystem growing in her house, as she had lots of experience with different plants with her experiences backpacking around the world.

Leaf tip with gemmae
This moss has very striking gemmae (sructures for asexual reproduction) on its leaf tips. These are visible to the naked eye, though a 10x lens helps to see more detail.
