Some animals recreate asexually by developing embryos from unfertilised eggs, however this can lead to a absence of hereditary variety. To keep their gene swimmingpool healthy, 2 types of nonsexual stick bug appear to sometimes mate

Two allegedly nonsexual types of stick bugs might engage in periodic bouts of sex, assisting to expand their gene swimmingpool and prevent damaging anomalies.
A handful of animals replicate asexually, mostly through a procedure understood as parthenogenesis, which includes developing embryos from unfertilised eggs. Species that do this consistof some pests, reptiles and fish.
“All members of a parthenogenetic population can produce offspring, so they have this substantial market benefit,” states Darren Parker at Ban
