The genus cnemidophorus is a large group of whiptail lizards that are found in both north and south america. these lizards undergo a process in which their unfertilized eggs can develop into new individuals. this process is called
a. sexual reproduction.
b. binary fission.
c. parthenogenesis.
d. budding.

C. parthenogenesis.

Explanation:

Parthenogenesis is a type of reproduction which occurs in extreme conditions in which an off-spring is born from an ovum (egg) even if the egg does not get fertilized by the male gamete. It is a type of asexual reproduction. It is exclusive to only a few invertebrates and lower plants. Parthenogenesis term is derived from a greek word which means "virgin birth". Since the new individual is reproduced out of an unfertilized egg the progeny resembles only one parent i.e. mother.
