  That’s a amazing question. Some animals and insects have single gender, and in that case, they are called asexual, which means that they are neither males or females.
  
  Amazingly, there are some insects and plants that contain both the sexes in the same individual, they are called hermaphrodites. They have a male component and a female component! Isn’t that amazing!

  There are some organisms that can reproduce by cloning themselves – and they are all female. This process is called parthenogenesis.

Also, I’ve heard that some fish can change from female to male whenever they like! This is so fun, I’m glad I got picked to do the voting, keep up the good work! 😀

  yeah that’s true! some fish can do that. they change their hormones in response to the environment and they switch sexes. Hope you enjoyed the event 🙂
