Asexual reproduction through parthenogenesis produce male or female offspring--?


wiki says female
kaplan says male ??

I cannot definitively tell you it does not happen in females, but I can say that it does happen in males. The examples you need to know for the DAT are like wasps, ants, bees... in these cases the worker males are produced by parthenogenesis.

wiki says:

"The offspring of parthenogenesis will be all female if two like chromosomes determine the female gender (such as the XY sex-determination system), but they will be male if two like chromosomes determine the male gender (such as the ZW sex-determination system), because the process involves the inheritance and subsequent duplication of only a single sex chromosome"

I thought parth, as it refers to bees and ants, was that a female gender results from a fertizilized egg, but the male is just unfertilized. 😕

The example i got in bio was a group of female whiptail lizards, so I know it can happen in females and not necessarily insect related.

i dont think you need to worry if its for females or males...
since they do artificial parthenogenesis then it prob just depends. but generally speaking its and undertilized egg "usually" male bees and ants.
