The correct answer is: In arrhenotoky, only males are produced by parthenogenesis while in thelytoky only females are produced by parthenogenesis.
Parthenogenesis is the process of the formation of an organism from the egg without fertilization. In thelytoky, only females are produced by parthenogenesis, e.g., whiptail lizards. In arrhenotoky, only males are produced by parthenogenesis, e.g., male honey bee (drone).
