10.
(a) Arrhenotoky: In this type, only males are produced by parthenogenesis. eg: honey bees
(b) Thelytoky: In this type of parthenogenesis only females are produced by parthenogenesis. e.g: Solenobia
(c) Amphitoky: In this type parthenogenetic egg may develop into individuals of any sex. e.g: Aphis.
11.
| Exogenous budding | Endogenous Budding |
| Buds are formed on the outer surface of the parent body |
Buds are formed inside the cytoplasm within the body of the parent |
| E.g. Hydra | E.g. Noctiluca |

13.
In binary fission, the parent organism divides into two halves and each half forms a daughter individual. The nucleus divides first amitotically or mitotically (karyokinesis), followed by the division of the cytoplasm (cytokinesis). The resultant offsprings are genetically identical to the parent. Depending on the plane of fission, binary fission is of the following types
(i) Simple irregular binary fission
(ii) Transverse binary fission
(iii) Longitudinal binary fission
(iv) Oblique binary fission
(i) Simple irregular binary fission is seen in Amoeba like irregular shaped organisms, where the plane of division is hard to observe. The contractile vacuoles cease to function and disappear. The nucleoli disintegrate and the nucleus divides mitotically. The cell then constricts in the middle, so the cytoplasm divides and forms two daughter cells.

(ii) In Transverse binary fission, the plane of the division runs along the transverse axis of the individual. E.g. Paramecium and Planaria. In Paramecium the macronucleus divides by amitosis and the micronucleus divides by mitosis.

(iii) In Longitudinal binary fission the nucleus and the cytoplasm divides in the longitudinal axis of the organism. In flagellates, the flagellum is retained usually by one daughter cell. The basal granule is divided into two and the new basal granule forms a flagellum in the other daughter individual. E.g. Vorticella and Euglena.
(iv) In Oblique binary fission the plane of division is oblique. It is seen in dinoflagellates. E.g. Ceratium.

14.
(a) Some organisms like honeybees are called parthenogenetic animals.
1. In case of honeybees both haploid and diploid individuals formed, as a result of incomplete parthenogenesis.
2. Both sexual reproduction and parthenogenesis are inclusive.
3. Fertilized eggs (zygote) give rise to queen and workers (both are females) by the process of sexual reproduction.
4. Unfertilized eggs (ova) of females develop into drones (males) by the process of parthenogenesis.
(b) A male honeybee has 16 chromosomes where as its female has 32 chromosomes
1. It is because of haplodiploidy which is a sex determination system, in which males develop from unfertilized eggs (parthenogenesis) and are haploid (16n) and females develop frorn fertilized eggs and are diploid (32n) (sexual reproduction).
2. As unfertilized egg carries only half number of chromosome as compared to fertilized egg.
Therefore male honeybees have 16 chromosomes where as female has 32 chromosomes.
