Androgenesis

Androgenesis is a big word that means creating babies without using an egg from a mom. It's like making a cake without using any eggs. Usually, to create a baby, an egg from the mom joins with a sperm from the dad. But with androgenesis, only the dad's sperm is used to make the baby.

To help you understand better, imagine a baby as a big puzzle with many pieces. One piece comes from the mom's egg, and one piece comes from the dad's sperm. But with androgenesis, only the dad's puzzle piece is used.

Scientists have found a way to use this special puzzle piece to create babies in a lab. Androgenesis is less common than regular reproduction, but it can be helpful in some cases, like when a couple wants to have a baby, but there's a problem with the mom's eggs.

And that's all you need to know in a nutshell!
