androgenesis
This term is a highly specialized biological descriptor used almost exclusively in academic, genetic, and zoological contexts. It describes a specific form of asexual reproduction where an embryo develops without the typical fusion of male and female gametes, often occurring in specific fish and amphibian species.
Because it refers to a biological process or a phenomenon of development, it is treated as an uncountable noun. It does not refer to a discrete object that can be counted, but rather to the mechanism of reproduction itself.
