The phenomenon of many embryos growing from a single fertilised egg is known as polyembryony. [1][2] [3] The embryos are genetically distinct from the parents yet identical to one another because they develop from the same egg. [1][2] Significant differences between polyembryony, the process of budding, and conventional sexual reproduction include the genetic diversity between the offspring and the parents but the resemblance among siblings. polyembryony exploited
