/æɡæmoʊdʒəˈnɛtɪk/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or produced by asexual reproduction; reproducing without sexual union.

Etymology

An adjective form derived from 'agamogenesis,' using the suffix '-ic' or '-etic' to mean 'of or relating to' asexual reproduction.

Kelly Says

Agamogenetic reproduction is actually incredibly efficient—if organisms could only reproduce sexually, many species would disappear because they can't find mates fast enough, but asexual reproduction lets them boom in numbers immediately!
