👉 Partheniae, in biology and genetics, are female reproductive cells that do not develop into mature females but remain viable for several years. These cells are often found in the ovaries of females, where they may be dormant or inactive until a male sperm is released from the ovary. The term "partheniae" has been used to refer to this phenomenon as it refers to the fact that partheniums, which are not sexually reproducing plants, remain viable and fertile throughout their lives
