Facultative sex allows animals to reproduce with a partner or totally on their own.

This is known as sexual reproduction, but not all organisms reproduce sexually.

The Komodo dragons can sexually reproduce to increase genetic diversity in their offspring.

But if they are unable to find a mate, they can choose to reproduce asexually.
