Explanation:

Both parthenogenesis and sexual reproduction involve the formation of a zygote. In sexual reproduction, a zygote is formed by the fusion of male and female gametes (fertilization). In parthenogenesis, although there's no male gamete involved (no fertilization in the traditional sense with a male partner providing a gamete), a zygote - like structure (as the ovum develops directly into an embryo which is similar to the early stage concept related to a zygote in sexual reproduction context in terms of being the starting point of an organism's development) is formed.

Answer:

"Parthenogenesis involves the formation of a zygote. But this zygote is formed without fertilization. In parthenogenesis, in the absence of a male gamete, the ovum develops directly in the zygote."
