Breeding without a male is possible in some animals, mostly reptiles. Even though there was no sperm to fertilize the egg, there can be other factors that can actually stimulate the egg into development without the presence of any other sex cells. Usually they can induce it in labs using electricity, but it has happened randomly through nature also. It’s rare, but pretty cool.

As for the second question, I have no idea, sorry.
