Abstract
Asexual reproduction is defined as the production of offspring from an unfertilized cell made by a single parent. This mode of reproduction is so simple and cheap relative to sexual reproduction that why most organisms are instead sexual stands as a key unanswered question in evolutionary biology. Connections to feminist, queer, and gender studies may be mutually illuminating.
