The biological phenomenon or condition of being ampherotokous; the ability to reproduce both sexually and asexually.
From Greek 'amphis' (both) + 'tokos' (birth) + '-y' (condition). This is a specialized term in biology and zoology.
Ampherotoky gives organisms incredible flexibility—some insects can produce clones of themselves when resources are good, then switch to sexual reproduction for genetic diversity when stressed!
