	Reproduction involving development of an unfertilized ovum. Distinguish from technologies or magics that merge multiple ova, or reproduce from a non-ovum. Offspring would usually be clones of the mother; genetic variation would come from merging one ovum with other cells. (But this is sf, so use your imagination.) Sperm, pollen, technological or magical interventions may be needed, but the essence is that only the single cell goes on to develop.		Reproduction involving development of an unfertilized ovum.
