The phenomenon of asexual reproduction that mimics sexual reproduction as it forms seed without fertilisation is called agamospermy.

Parthenogenesis refers to the development of unfertilised ovule into an adult individual. On the other hand, parthenocarpy is the phenomenon of formation of fruits without fertilisation of an ovary.
